Bethlehem homes and water damage
Historic Bethlehem has 18th-century stone buildings. South Side has rowhouses. Many South Side and West Side homes are early-1900s rowhouses built for steelworkers, with stone basements, plaster walls and hardwood floors. Shared walls and roofs mean a leak in one home can spread next door. Historic Bethlehem has 18th-century Moravian stone buildings that need careful drying to avoid damaging original materials. Many rowhouses have basement storage and laundry, so a burst pipe or sewer backup can soak belongings quickly, and fast extraction matters.
