Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The typical home in the ZIP codes around Boykins was built in the 1970s, which tells the crew roughly which pipe materials to expect. Paneled walls and glued carpet were common in basement rec rooms of this period. Sewage soaks in behind both.
Many homes here have both a basement and a crawl space. Sewage may reach either one, and the crew checks both. Owners can ask the plumber to write down the cause of the backup. That report helps explain the loss to the adjuster.
