What Makes Chambersburg, Pennsylvania Different
Chambersburg sits in the Cumberland Valley of south central Pennsylvania, where the Conococheague Creek and Falling Spring meet downtown. Confederate troops burned much of the town in July 1864, and many of the brick buildings downtown date from the rebuilding that followed. Homes near the creeks can take water in long rains, so know your flood zone.
The valley sits on limestone, and sinkholes and springs are common. Water can find its way to a foundation from underground, and many older homes have stone basements that seep in a wet spring. A damp basement will grow mold on paneling, carpet and stored boxes, so run a dehumidifier and keep humidity near 50 percent.
Winters bring snow, ice and hard freezes, and pipes in outside walls and crawlspaces can split in a cold snap. Summer storms bring high wind and heavy rain. Older brick homes may have asbestos or lead paint, so know what a material is before you tear it out. Photograph damage before cleanup and keep receipts for fans, tarps and dehumidifiers.

Checking a License in Chambersburg
Pennsylvania requires home improvement contractors to register with the state Attorney General’s office. Ask for the registration number and look it up before you sign. The Borough of Chambersburg and the surrounding townships in Franklin County also require local permits, so check with your municipality. Pennsylvania has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
