Water removal, drying, and leak cleanup for homes across Chickasaw, including the historic Shipyard Village district near Chickasaw Creek.
Chickasaw started as a company town for Chickasaw Shipyard workers and grew fast during World War II. Much of its original housing is now part of the Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, and many homes date to the 1940s. The city borders Chickasaw Creek, a tidal arm of the Mobile River, which keeps humidity high and low areas wet after heavy rain.
1940s-era plumbing and roofing are the biggest factors. Original pipes, roof flashing, and drain lines in many of these homes are long past their expected life, and leaks are common. Chickasaw Creek adds risk too: low ground near the creek drains slowly during heavy rain. And because these homes have stood so long, a small leak that started years ago may have quietly damaged framing or floors.
Older homes need careful work. Original plaster, wood floors, and trim in the historic district are worth saving when possible, and drying them takes a different approach than tearing out modern drywall. We focus on drying materials in place where we can and removing only what can’t be saved.
