Preserving Baltimore’s Architectural Legacy

It’s disheartening to see so many historic rowhouses disappearing from our neighborhoods. Through several inspections, we’ve found a common and preventable issue behind many of their structural problems: foundation damage caused by improper water drainage.

In many cases, downspouts discharge water directly at the base of the structure, leading to long-term settlement and serious structural concerns. With a bit of proactive maintenance, like proper gutter drainage and extension, many of these beautiful homes could be preserved for generations to come.

Let’s protect our built heritage by addressing small issues before they become big ones.
