Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 31% of homes in the mapped Lexington ZIP codes predate 1980; older finishes may hide later remodels. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lexington was built in the 1990s. Porous insulation behind finished lower walls can change the removal scope. The septic company handles the source while cleanup addresses the rooms.
When temperatures swing, keep fixtures off during an active backup to avoid adding flow.
