Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 54% 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 Davis was built in the years before 1940. Galvanized steel was common in many early homes. Corrosion can contribute to a sudden interior water loss. Prompt drying addresses the escaped water, not corrosion.
Winter pipe losses can soak insulation and drywall. The crew checks both before drying. Insulation condition matters to the drying plan.
