Yes, Victorian construction's thick masonry, wood framing, and plaster absorb and retain moisture longer. Historic buildings also lack modern vapor barriers, making condensation water a more serious structural threat if not addressed quickly.
Historic plaster can delaminate, weaken, and develop mold growth behind the finish. Crews remove saturated areas carefully to prevent further damage, and recommend replastering after structural drying is verified complete.
