Gettysburg Pennsylvania Crawlspace Repair

Gettysburg’s climate is unyielding regarding precipitation, with steady rainfall (often from Atlantic coast storms) in the summer transitioning to snowmelt in the winter. As a result, more than 90% of Pennsylvania is flood-prone. Many property owners without basements enjoy some relief from the damaging effects of flooding and water intrusion: they do not have to worry about basement floods. However, properties with crawlspaces can suffer from many of the same water-related risks, including hazardous mold growth and leaking. In one sense, homeowners with crawlspaces may be at greater risk than basement properties if they seldom inspect their crawlspaces. Minor issues such as cracks can become costly problems if left unattended, especially when water is involved. Therefore, we recommend calling a professional for an inspection at the first sign of trouble. For example, if you notice a musty odor in your home, it could be a sign of mold growth. Many problems require only a quick patch or repair if caught early.
