Drywall, leaks & water damage in Northern Liberties
Flat and low-slope roofs and shared party walls are the usual leak points on Northern Liberties rowhomes. See flat roof leaks, party-wall leaks and roof leak repair.
In condos and stacked units, ceiling stains usually come from the unit or bathroom above. See ceiling leak repair.
Many older Northern Liberties homes still have original plaster, which needs a different repair than drywall. Read plaster vs. drywall or see drywall & plaster repair.
Spotted a stain or soft wall? We find the leak, fix it, then handle the water-damaged drywall. See signs of hidden leaks.
Why being close matters
