Water damage in 18b Arts District homes

The district grew around the Arts Factory, a former office supply warehouse, and the old Holsum bread factory is now Holsum Lofts. Lofts and studios in converted buildings often share walls and roofs with the shop next door, so a leak rarely stays in one space. Artwork, paper and framed pieces also soak up water fast and need to move first.

  • Move paper, canvas and framed work off the floor and away from wet walls before anything else.
  • Photograph inventory with prices or receipts for a business claim.
  • Ask the building owner where the shared shutoff is before you need it.
