Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 68% of the homes in the ZIP codes around Fort Montgomery were built before 1980. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Fort Montgomery was built in the 1950s. A basement laundry in an older home sits close to a slab or a stone wall. Leaks run along the floor to the lowest corner, and damp air lingers. Dehumidifiers run longer there.
Long winters push laundry into basements, garages and mudrooms. Cold air holds little moisture, so crews add heat and run dehumidifiers longer. A hose in an unheated space can also freeze and crack. Mixed ownership near Fort Montgomery means some leaks involve a landlord and some involve a single owner. Photos and logs help whichever party files the claim.
