Historic cottages

Cottages and storefronts near downtown Matthews

Older houses sit over crawl spaces that collect runoff from storms and leaks from old plumbing. Water soaks insulation and floor framing from below, and mature trees keep the ground around them damp.

We pump the crawl space, clear out wet insulation, and extract from any subfloor within reach.

Typical causes

  • Runoff flowing into crawl spaces
  • Older supply lines that give way
  • Boiler and water heater leaks
