Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Copper-era plumbing can still cause broad water damage when a joint opens suddenly. Prompt extraction limits continued soaking. Drying continues after the pipe itself is fixed.
Exterior wall plumbing can be exposed during a sudden freeze. The resulting damage needs drying. Drywall and insulation are assessed separately.
