Reconstruction & Repairs in Clifton
Clifton's location along the hillside above the Mill Creek Valley means steep lots with dramatic grade changes that send stormwater rushing toward foundations during heavy rains. The neighborhood's Victorian and early 1900s housing stock has original stone, brick, and poured concrete foundations with waterproofing that deteriorated decades ago. Multi-family conversions common in the area increase plumbing stress on aging systems. Dry Effect works with both homeowners and property managers in Clifton to address basement flooding, foundation seepage, and mold from chronic moisture in older buildings.

The neighborhood features a mix of grand Victorian homes, early 1900s apartments, and student housing.
