Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
These 19 ZIP codes contain about 291,319 housing units. The crew assesses each frozen pipe loss by water path, material and saturation. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Albuquerque was built in the 1980s. The year a house was built suggests possible plumbing materials, but a plumber confirms what is present. Extraction starts with the water already on the floor.
Rare ice in a pipe can be enough to cause a break. The water path, not the forecast, defines the drying work. In a shared building, thaw water can cross unit boundaries. Record where it appeared before extraction.
