Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 20% of local homes predate 1960. Galvanized and early copper plumbing may be present in some of them. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Jay was built in the 1970s. Cabinet bases and flooring seams can hold water from older sink connections. Drying requires access to those spaces. Wet flooring can extend beyond the cabinet footprint.
Exterior hose connections can be vulnerable in deep cold. Interior wall cavities may also get wet. Moisture readings help define the affected wall area.
