Water, Fire, Smoke, and Mold Damage Restoration in

Mt Airy

, 

PA

Mount Airy's older stone and masonry homes have foundations and walls that wick and hold moisture, so once water intrudes it can feed mold for weeks, and areas near the Wissahickon Creek face flood exposure. Many are twins with shared walls and aging plumbing, and in connected homes a burst pipe or backed-up main moves fast through joist cavities into adjoining walls. Drying stone and framing fully and fast is what keeps a water loss from becoming mold.

Fire risk in this older stone housing is heightened by shared walls in twins, balloon framing, old plaster, and decades of renovation layered over original construction, which let smoke and flames climb quickly. We trace that spread, check shared walls, dry the structure properly, and remove odor from old plaster and wood at the source.
