Bungalows and crawlspaces
Dixieland's bungalows are mostly wood-frame homes on raised foundations, many from the 1920s. Original cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines and decades of repairs are the norm. When a line fails under the house, water collects in the crawlspace, raising humidity and feeding mold on the framing. We dry the crawlspace and check subfloor and joists, not just the rooms above. See structural drying.
A lot of rental homes
Many Dixieland homes and small apartment buildings are rentals. Tenants may not report a slow leak right away, and landlords may be managing several properties. We document damage for the owner's insurer and provide records the tenant may need for renters insurance, so both sides have what they need.
Shops along South Florida Avenue
Dixieland's commercial strip includes older storefronts with flat or low-slope roofs, which tend to hold water and leak at seams and drains in heavy rain. A roof leak over a restaurant or shop can shut down business. We work after hours when we can and set up containment so businesses can keep operating. See commercial water damage restoration.
