Bathroom leak in your Five Points historic home? Crews trace the water through century-old framing, extract carefully, and dry to preserve the original hardwood. IICRC-standard, local, 24/7.
Crews use moisture meters to follow the leak under the tile, under the tub, and down into the slab or crawlspace where original hardwood and framing live. Crews map the water's path.
Crews extract all pooled water and carefully open the affected floor or crawlspace zone to see the damage and dry the original wood without warping it.
Crews use gentle air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the hardwood and sill plates slowly so they do not cup or warp. Crews apply antimicrobial and restore the floor to match the original color and finish.
Cleanup after a shower or tub leak in Five Points usually runs about $900 to $4,000. A leak caught early is inexpensive, while one that rotted the subfloor and wall studs, loosened tile, or dripped into the ceiling below costs more. Rebuilding the shower surround or floor adds to it. Sudden failures are often covered by homeowner insurance; slow, hidden leaks may be scrutinized. Crews document the loss for your adjuster.
Five Points was Huntsville's first subdivision, laid out in the 1890s and now forty-odd blocks of historic homes listed on the National Register. Century-old supply lines, porches, and additions give water many hidden paths, and an unnoticed slab or crawlspace leak can silently undermine original hardwood floors and sill plates before a homeowner sees the damage. Five Points homes are on slabs or crawlspaces installed over 130 years ago. Supply lines date to the 1920s or earlier, sill plates are original wood, and water finds easy paths to hardwood under the house. Spring storms and winter freezes bring failures. Slow leaks here do damage quietly until the wood is soft. From Five Points, crews also cover nearby Dallas Mill Village, Medical District, Lincoln Mill Village, Lowe Mill Village, Old Town, Twickenham.

Not always. If crews catch it early and dry it completely, the wood often survives and can be refinished. Crews monitor the moisture closely and advise when replacement is needed to avoid mold.
It depends on the size and how long the leak ran. A small, fresh slab leak might run 800 to 2000 dollars. A large one that rotted the subfloor could run 2500 to 5000 dollars. Crews give an estimate after crews inspect.
