Between humidity, older homes, and seasonal rain, Hershey basements are no strangers to moisture — and, as a result, mold. Because damp conditions can linger behind walls and floors, mold often begins growing before homeowners even realize it. If your basement feels damp or smells musty, mold could already be spreading out of sight.
What Causes Mold in Hershey Homes
In most cases, basement mold starts with moisture. In Hershey, that moisture can come from multiple sources, especially when weather and aging systems overlap. Common causes include:
💧 Cracks or leaks in the foundation
🌧 Runoff from storms or melting snow
🚰 Leaky plumbing or water heaters
🌫 Humid air trapped in basements
🧱 Failing sump systems or drains
Once moisture is present, mold can begin forming in as little as 48 hours. For that reason, early action is critical.

At Basement Waterproofing Specialists, we don’t just remove visible mold. Instead, we focus on correcting the moisture issues that caused it — so the problem doesn’t return.
1. Full moisture inspection
2. Containment & air purification
