A town built in a bend of the Kentucky River, with a low historic centre, a great deal of nineteenth century building stock and a concentration of institutional property. Live answer on the Frankfort and Shelby line.

## Why people in Frankfort call us

Plaster on lath behaves nothing like drywall when it gets wet. It holds far more water, releases it far more slowly, and hides moisture behind a surface that can feel perfectly dry. Solid masonry does the same at a larger scale, wicking water well past the visible line.

That is the argument against any contractor quoting a fixed three-day dry-out on an old building without looking at it. We set the target from a reading on unaffected material in the same building and log daily until the affected material reaches it.

## The buildings we work on in Frankfort

Most people in Frankfort already understand river risk; the floodwall is not subtle. What catches them out is the ordinary stuff, which does not care about the river at all: the supply line, the water heater, the upstairs washer, the roof detail that finally gave up.

Rising water from outside and water that started inside the building are treated differently by insurers, and rising water usually falls to separate flood cover. We document which one you have from the first visit, and it is worth asking your carrier early rather than after the work is done.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you work on historic and older buildings?

Yes, and they need a different approach. Plaster, lath and solid masonry hold much more water than modern materials and release it far more slowly, so drying takes longer and has to be measured rather than scheduled. Cleaning agents also have to be matched to original finishes, because the wrong one does damage the loss did not.

### Do you handle state and institutional buildings?

We work with commercial, institutional and multi-tenant property, where a water loss is a continuity problem before it is a building problem. The mitigation is done by crews we employ, which matters more in a secured building than it does in a house.
