Water Damage

 

Moisture problems occur for several reasons. Interior plumbing leaks in older houses are common. Pipes can freeze, causing water leaks behind the walls. Roofs may leak, causing ceiling damage. Gutters and downspouts may also leak, pouring rain water next to the building foundation. In brick buildings, dampness at the foundation level can wick up into the above-grade walls. Another common source of moisture is splashback. When there is a paved area next to a masonry building, rainwater splashing up from the paving can dampen masonry walls. In both cases water travels through the masonry and damages interior plaster. Martin McMahon can repair any of the damage caused by these problems.

 

Fire Damage

 

In edition to the water damage caused by fighting the fire.  Smoke and heat from a fire will damage plaster and drywall as well. Martin McMahon can repair this to its original appearance as well.

Other Types Of Damage

 

Structural problems, poor workmanship, improper curing, are just some of the conditions that cause plaster to crack, effloresce, separate or become detached from its lath framework. Martin McMahon will be glad to look at these any other type of repair needed. Please feel free to contact us about your project.
