Dry and confirm
Stubborn readings call for a second look. The crew checks for water trapped in a cavity, a closed cabinet or a layer that never got opened.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Across 25 ZIP codes near Rochester, the Census counts 220,058 homes and 476,655 residents. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Rochester was built in the 1950s. Old houses often have layers of flooring stacked over a wood subfloor. Water gets between the layers and stays. The crew lifts sections only where the readings stay wet.
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. Duplexes and small buildings are common in mixed neighborhoods. A leak in one unit may wet the other, so the technician checks both sides.
