Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 66% of homes in the Valley Springs ZIP codes went up before 1980, when galvanized and early copper plumbing was the norm. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Valley Springs was built in the 1970s. Textured ceilings and wall paneling are common in houses of this age. Older finishes need care before any cutting, and the crew reads the wet pattern first.
Spring thaw and heavy rain can add outside water to a basement. If it meets heater water, the crew treats the mix by its worst category. Most homes here are owner-occupied, so the homeowner usually owns the heater, the floor and the claim. One folder for photos, drying logs and the plumber's invoice keeps that claim simple.
