Drywall, leaks & water damage in Pennsport
Flat and low-slope roofs and shared party walls are the usual leak points on Pennsport rowhomes. See flat roof leaks, party-wall leaks and roof leak repair.
Many older Pennsport 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.
