Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS data for the selected Flat Rock ZIPs show 30% of housing predates 1980. The age suggests possible pipe materials, not the cause of a specific break. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Flat Rock was built in the 1990s. The crew follows the leak into adjacent surfaces rather than assuming the pipe age defines the loss. Moisture readings define the dry-out scope.
