Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 55% of local housing units predate 1980. Mixed plumbing and remodeled floor assemblies are possible in older homes. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ann Arbor was built in the 1970s. A slow appearing stain may reflect water traveling under flooring. In Ann Arbor, the crew follows readings, not stain size.
Exterior wall plumbing is vulnerable during extended freezing. Cleanup follows the water inside the home.
