Remove standing water

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 37% 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 Blackstone was built in the 1960s. A pipe behind a tiled wall can wet backing materials for some time. The technician assesses each layer. A technician may need to inspect the opposite wall face.
Exterior hose connections can be vulnerable in deep cold. Interior wall cavities may also get wet. Moisture readings help define the affected wall area. A basement water loss can affect stored items. Lift dry valuables away from the wet area.
