Water, Fire, Smoke, and Mold Damage Restoration in

Overbrook

, 

PA

Overbrook's older stone twins and brick rowhomes have masonry foundations that wick and hold moisture along with full basements and aging cast-iron and galvanized plumbing, and basements take on groundwater during heavy storms. In connected homes and twins a burst pipe or backed-up main travels 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 housing is heightened by shared walls, stone construction, balloon framing, and decades of renovation layered over original framing, which give smoke and flames hidden routes between floors and units. We trace that spread, check shared walls, dry the structure properly, and remove odor from old plaster and wood at the source.
