Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Around 74% of homes in the listed ZIP codes are owner occupied. Property owners should keep pipe and drying records together.

Pipes in unheated spaces may freeze before indoor lines. The restoration technician checks where water traveled.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

- Keep copies of claim communications.
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
