Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

An older basement may show moisture at the wall base after plumbing failure. Extraction addresses standing water first. Standing water is pumped before deeper readings are taken.
Some pipes can split before a brief cold event ends. Check for leaks during the thaw. The supply should be shut off if a split is found.
