Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Ramsey residents
Are the older colonial homes in Ramsey prone to developing attic mold?
Yes, attic mold is a frequent issue in Ramsey's beautiful older colonials, typically caused by poor ventilation and air leaks that allow warm, moist air to condense during the winter. Our comprehensive approach for Ramsey homes involves not just safely remediating the mold, but also installing ventilation baffles and air-sealing all ceiling penetrations. This fixes the underlying moisture problem and prevents the mold from returning.
Do the stone foundations in Ramsey homes require special care when drying?
Absolutely. To properly dry the historic stone foundations found in many Ramsey homes, we use a gentle, controlled process. This involves desiccant dehumidifiers and breathable sealers that effectively control moisture wicking from the ground without trapping it inside the stone. This specialized technique preserves the structural integrity and character of your Ramsey home's foundation.
What is the typical drying time for a clean-water loss in a Ramsey home?
For a standard clean-water incident in Ramsey, such as a burst pipe or appliance leak, the structural drying process typically takes 3 to 5 days. If water has penetrated into hidden wall cavities or under multiple flooring layers, it may take longer. Our technicians monitor the progress with daily moisture readings to ensure your Ramsey property is dried thoroughly and efficiently.
Can you save the original plaster ceilings in my Ramsey home after a leak?
In many cases, yes. We understand the importance of preserving the original plasterwork in Ramsey homes. Our technicians use a controlled, slow-drying process with specialized equipment to prevent the plaster from cracking or pulling away from the lath. We perform minimal, targeted demolition only if absolutely necessary, ensuring the historic character of your Ramsey home is maintained.
