Mold Remediation in New Oxford, PA

New Oxford (17350, Adams County) shares Gettysburg's climate and most of its contractors, but the housing and the water are different. Here is what changes.

Housing in New Oxford

New Oxford was platted in 1792 and incorporated in 1874. The 2020 population was 1,868. Of its 750 homes, 211 (28.1%) were built before 1940 and about 52% before 1970, with a median build year of 1968.

Where the water comes from

New Oxford sits on the South Branch of Conewago Creek, which the USGS gauges at the borough (station 01573820). Homes near the creek and along the low ground toward Lincoln Way see the highest basement water tables in the county after a wet spring.

Who serves New Oxford

Contractors from Hanover (10 minutes) and Gettysburg (15 minutes) both cover New Oxford without a trip charge; York-based firms usually do too.

What it costs

Pricing tracks the Gettysburg ranges: $1,500 to $4,000 for a typical basement, $500 to $2,000 for a crawl space, $10 to $25 per square foot. See the full Adams County cost guide.

How to vet a contractor

Pennsylvania has no mold license. Check the PA HIC number, ask who holds IICRC AMRT or ACAC CMR credentials, insist on a written moisture plan, and use an independent tester for clearance. Full checklist: how to choose a mold contractor in PA. Full list: contractors serving Adams County.
