Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 72% of housing units in the listed ZIP codes predate 1980. Building layers can vary, so the technician checks the actual wet assembly. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Brookhaven was built in the 1960s. Attic cooling equipment can sit above ceiling drywall and insulation. A pan overflow needs an assessment of both layers.
When cooling resumes after months off, an attic pan may overflow. A ceiling below it deserves a safe wet area assessment. Many residents in the selected ZIP area own their homes. A homeowner can keep HVAC and drying records together for any claim.
