Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 37% of homes in the listed Florence ZIP codes were built before 1980. Older plumbing can change where leaks begin. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Florence was built in the 1980s. Gray polybutylene was installed in many homes during these decades and has a known failure history. The crew dries any resulting loss. That history does not replace an inspection of the actual pipe.
Unexpected winter weather can put pressure on exposed plumbing. Shut off a leak safely before cleanup. Pumping starts only after the location is safe. A basement water loss can affect stored items. Lift dry valuables away from the wet area.
