Old timber and stone foundations in Hilltown

Old hardwood beams and floors can host powderpost beetles for years. Stone foundations with crumbling mortar let mice in, and damp cellars draw termites to the sill.

Mature trees, outbuildings and nearby fields add carpenter ants, stink bugs and seasonal mice to the mix. Because owners tend to stay for many years, small problems left alone can grow into structural repairs.

With a 1938 median build year, Blooming Glen's houses are mostly fieldstone farmhouses, frame village homes with front porches, and a few early 20th-century bungalows. Many have additions from several eras stacked onto the original stone core, so a single house may combine a rubble cellar, a block crawl space and a slab-on-grade family room. Each junction between old and new is a likely gap for mice and a likely moisture trap for termites.

The village sits in open Hilltown farm country, ringed by fields, pastures and hedgerows. Barns and sheds on nearby properties keep mouse numbers up, and unpainted barn siding and porch rafters draw carpenter bees each spring. Because Census figures show essentially no rental housing here, attics and closets tend to hold decades of stored wool, quilts and furniture, which is where clothes moths and carpet beetles quietly build up.

How we schedule a Blooming Glen visit

We travel north through Doylestown, then west on back roads into Hilltown Township. Thom or a team member spends time in the cellar and attic, where old houses show their problems. A written quote follows the free inspection.

Blooming Glen near Pennridge schools

Blooming Glen is a village of Hilltown Township near the Pennridge schools, close to Dublin and Perkasie. Route 113 runs through the village from Silverdale toward Dublin, and Blooming Glen Mennonite Church is one of its oldest landmarks, a reminder of the Mennonite farm families who settled this part of Bucks County in the 1700s. Hilltown Township around the village is still largely fields, woodlots and scattered farmsteads, with Perkasie's shops and parks a few minutes away. Most of the houses are on generous lots with at least one outbuilding, and in many of them the cellar beams and attic rafters are still the original wood. In a village like this our work is mostly about old wood and old stone: termites and powderpost beetles in original framing, mice through rubble cellar walls, carpenter bees on barns, and fall invaders in attics full of long-stored belongings.
