- Stop using plumbing fixtures.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 17% of local homes predate 1960. Galvanized and early copper plumbing may be present in some of them. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ramer was built in the 1980s. Gray polybutylene was installed in many homes during these decades and has a known failure history. The crew dries any resulting loss. That history does not replace an inspection of the actual pipe.
Exterior wall plumbing can be exposed during a sudden freeze. The resulting damage needs drying. Drywall and insulation are assessed separately.
