In short

We dry plaster walls and original hardwood slowly with careful readings, clean up backups from older drain lines and dry attic and ceiling leaks, matching original finishes in repairs, with crews coming from the N MacArthur Blvd service office.
How water gets in here
Two historic districts north of downtown
The Crown Heights Historic District, roughly bounded by NW 36th, N Western, NW 43rd and N Walker, was listed on the National Register in 1995. Its homes date mostly from 1925 to 1949, in Tudor, Colonial and Spanish Revival styles, many built by developer G. A. Nichols. Edgemere Park, next door, is another of the city's older historic neighborhoods.
Houses this age have plaster walls on lath, original oak floors, older drain lines and attics that have seen decades of storms. Plaster dries far more slowly than drywall, and original finishes are worth saving rather than replacing.
That shapes how we work here: more reading, slower drying, and repairs that match what's already in the house.
