Preserving Huntsville's History, One Home at a Time.

Blossomwood and the Twickenham Historic District are the soul of Huntsville. When a pipe bursts in a 100-year-old estate, you don't just need a plumber—you need a preservationist. We specialize in delicate water extraction for historic properties near Monte Sano, where modern "rip-and-replace" methods could cause more harm than good to your lath-and-plaster walls and antique finishes.

The Historic Specialist Advantage:

✓ Antique Floor Drying: Specialized equipment to prevent cupping in 19th-century hardwoods.
✓ Lath & Plaster Expertise: Structural drying that respects original building materials.
✓ Discreet Service: Unmarked vehicles and quiet industrial fans for the Twickenham community.
✓ Disaster Documentation: Detailed reports for historic insurance riders and the AL Historic Commission guidelines.

Historic Material FAQ

Can you save my original hand-scraped hardwoods?

Yes. Using floor mats and desiccant dehumidification, we draw moisture through the wood pores to prevent the warping typical of older, wider-plank Alabama pine and oak.

How do you handle water behind plaster walls?

We use non-invasive thermal imaging to find pockets of water without drilling into your historic plaster unless absolutely necessary.
