Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Wet spring weeks raise the water table around buried pipe. Joints that stayed tight in dry weather can let water in. Most homes here are owner-occupied, so the owner usually makes the calls to the plumber, the crew and the insurer. Keeping every report in one folder makes the claim easier.
