Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS figures put 28% of local units before 1960. A technician checks the actual floor and wall layers instead of assuming their age. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Farnham was built in the 1970s. Basement paneling from this era may conceal wet framing. The crew evaluates what must be opened for drying.
An occasional hard freeze can be followed by heavy rain. The Farnham crew checks for both standing water and wet cavities.
