Why Petworth properties are different
Water moves differently depending on how a house is built. In Petworth, 1920s porch-front rows with original cast-iron waste stacks. That means we check below-grade spaces, wall cavities behind Brightwood-era finishes, and the underside of every subfloor before we call a structure dry.
