Water, fire and mold damage in Manhasset: what we see
Manhasset sits at the head of Manhasset Bay in the Town of North Hempstead, from the shops on Northern Boulevard to the older streets near Plandome and Munsey Park. Much of the housing is pre-war colonials and Tudors, with plaster walls, old cast iron drains and basements that have been finished over the years.
In older homes like these, a leak often travels inside plaster and behind finished basement walls before it shows. We trace it with moisture meters and thermal imaging, open only what we need to, and dry the house so the original materials can stay where possible.
Common problems in Manhasset homes
- Old drain and supply lines
- Cast iron stacks and older copper or galvanized lines in pre-war homes crack and pinhole with age.
- Finished basement water
- Heavy rain, a failed sump pump or a sewer backup soaks carpet, drywall and built-ins below grade.
- Frozen pipes on outside walls
- Pipes in exterior walls, additions and over garages split in hard cold and leak when they thaw.
