The typical home in the ZIP codes around Traphill was built in the 1980s. Pipe fittings inside walls can leak before surface staining becomes obvious. The crew checks the wider cavity. Hidden insulation may need removal to dry framing.
Some pipes can split before a brief cold event ends. Check for leaks during the thaw. The supply should be shut off if a split is found. An occupied home may have wet furnishings as well as building materials. Sort contents safely.
