Jersey City homes and water damage
Downtown and the Heights have 19th-century brownstones and rowhouses with basements and aging plumbing. The waterfront has many high-rise condos where one leak can affect several units. Many brownstones in Downtown and the Heights have been split into condos, with shared plumbing stacks, basements and roofs. When a pipe bursts or a sewer backs up, the damage often crosses unit lines, so documenting the source and notifying neighbors and the association quickly matters.
