Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 81% of the homes in the ZIP codes around Hector were built before 1980. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Hector was built in the 1950s. A basement laundry in an older home sits close to a slab or a stone wall. Leaks run along the floor to the lowest corner, and damp air lingers. Dehumidifiers run longer there.
Cold basement slabs slow drying after a washer leak. The crew uses floor mats and warm air to move moisture out of the concrete and the lower walls. Owner-occupied homes mean one person usually decides on repairs and on the drying plan. The crew can explain each opening and each piece of equipment to that person.
