Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 75% of the homes in the ZIP codes around Lima were built before 1980. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lima was built in the 1960s. Homes from this period often have a laundry closet or hallway nook with sheet vinyl over plywood. Water spreads under the vinyl and into the wall bases. Standpipes and drain lines from this era may be tight or slow.
Winter homes run closed up for months, so a laundry leak has few ways to air out. The crew sets equipment to move air through closed rooms. Owner-occupied homes mean one person usually decides on repairs and on the drying plan. The crew can explain each opening and each piece of equipment to that person.
