Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

The crew follows the leak into adjacent surfaces rather than assuming the pipe age defines the loss. Records describe the water damage, not a presumed cause.
Occasional hard freezes can reach garage plumbing. The cleanup crew follows water toward finished rooms. A tenant should tell the landlord about a leaking supply line. The water damage crew can assess the affected rooms.
