Mold remediation in Biglerville

Biglerville sits in the middle of this list by housing age, with a 1963 median and about a fifth of its homes built before 1940.

Reading the housing data

The Census reports 20.6 percent of housing built before 1940, 30.4 percent before 1950, and a median of 1963 across 520 units. That is a mid-century profile rather than an old or a new one.

What building age does and does not tell you

Mid-century housing spans a period when building practice was changing quickly, so age alone is a weaker guide here than at either end of the range. General signs are the same everywhere: a musty smell that persists, a damp patch that returns after drying, and materials that feel cool and slightly heavy.

Local detail

Owner occupancy is 61.1 percent, the second lowest on this list, so questions about who arranges and pays for a repair come up more often here than in the surrounding townships. Biglerville sits about 7 miles north of Gettysburg borough.
