What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Turn off the main water supply if a break is suspected.

- Move dry belongings away from any active water path.
- Record the outage period and visible damage for the claim file.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The housing profile places the typical construction decade at 1980s, while 21% of units date from 2000 or later. Actual plumbing varies by property. The crew follows the leak into adjacent surfaces rather than assuming the pipe age defines the loss. Moisture readings define the dry-out scope.
An unheated room can expose a supply run during brief freezing weather. Prompt extraction limits added absorption.
