Pigtown's Historic Rowhomes Start With Moisture Control

Pigtown — Washington Village to the city — holds some of Baltimore's most historic rowhome blocks, built when nobody sealed anything. The crawl spaces here are old, low, and damp, with brick foundations that have been wicking ground moisture for well over a century. Before anything else, these spaces need moisture control: find the water, stop the water, dry the space.

We take these homes in the right order. First the inspection — photos, moisture readings, a probe test of the joists. Then the water plan: drainage if it floods, barrier and dehumidifier if it is damp. Then structural repair for anything the moisture damaged. Then, and only then, sealing and insulation. Skipping steps is how money gets wasted, and we do not skip steps.

Many Pigtown homes have had piecemeal work over the decades — a patch here, a pump there. We will assess what is already in place and build on what works instead of ripping out what does not need replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A previous owner installed a sump pump. Do I still need work?

Maybe, maybe not. We will test the pump, check the discharge, and see whether the rest of the system — barrier, vents, dehumidifier — is in place. Good existing equipment stays; we fill the gaps.

The joists look dark. Is that rot or just age?

Our probe test tells the truth — we press into the wood during the inspection. Dark staining alone is often just age; soft wood is rot. You will see the photos either way.

How do I know the moisture is really fixed?

Moisture meter readings before and after, plus a dry space you can check yourself. We show you the numbers, not just promises.
