BrooklynShort answer
In Park Slope the usual call is water running down through a brownstone, from a top-floor bathroom or a roof leak into the floors below, or a garden apartment that took water in heavy rain. Shut the water if you can and call. We dry plaster and strip oak in place wherever the readings allow.

Local conditions
Landmark blocks near the park
Much of Brooklyn’s landmark housing is clustered near Prospect Park, and Park Slope’s brownstone blocks are a big part of it. For a restoration job, that means original plaster, trim and facades worth saving, and repairs that should match what was there.
What that means on a job: a leak in a brownstone is traced from the top floor down, with readings on every level, so each apartment knows what it took. Original plaster, moldings and strip oak are dried and repaired in place where they can be, instead of being cut out and replaced.
About 5.2 percent of Brooklyn lots are in Landmarks Preservation Commission regulated areas, with historic districts concentrated around downtown Brooklyn and Prospect Park.

Where the work happens in Park Slope
On the brownstone and limestone blocks, most jobs start with a top-floor bathroom or a roof leak that runs down through every floor. We trace it floor by floor, dry plaster ceilings and strip oak, and photograph original moldings before anything is touched.
Garden apartments and cellars take water in heavy rain and, sometimes, from a floor drain. Those jobs start with extraction and removal of soaked materials, then drying the slab and walls before anything is rebuilt.
