Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 68% of local housing units predate 1980. Mixed plumbing and remodeled floor assemblies are possible in older homes. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Springfield was built in the 1970s. Older copper can develop pinholes over time. In Springfield, a small opening may still soak a large floor area.
Freezing weather does not change the need for source control. Drying begins after accessible water is removed.
