Emergency extraction and drying for Manheim homes, farms and outbuildings across Rapho Township.
Manheim borough has a compact historic centre surrounded by farmland and newer township development. The older properties around the square bring nineteenth-century construction — plaster, stone foundations, original floors — while the surrounding Rapho Township properties are a mix of farms, outbuildings and modern housing.
Agricultural buildings are not usually insured or treated the same way as a dwelling, and a water loss in a barn, workshop or equipment building has its own considerations. Contents can be substantial, drying a large open volume needs different equipment from drying a bedroom, and the insurance may sit under a farm policy rather than a homeowners one.
We are happy to work on outbuildings as well as houses — just tell us what we are dealing with when you call so we bring the right equipment.
Around the square, plaster over lath and stone basements are the norm. Plaster dries more slowly than drywall and holds moisture behind the lath where a surface meter will not find it, so it needs longer and proper readings. Rushing it to a drywall schedule is what produces mould inside a cavity months later.
Coverage includes Manheim borough, Rapho Township, Mount Hope, Penryn and the Route 72 corridor.
We respond 24/7, document everything for your insurer, and carry the work through from emergency mitigation to final repair.
