Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 66% 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 Waterford was built in the 1970s. Cabinets built over a damp slab can wick water at their bases. The Waterford cleanup team checks those low points.
Exterior wall plumbing is vulnerable during extended freezing. Cleanup follows the water inside the home.
