The typical home in the ZIP codes around Gettysburg was built in the 1940s. A house built before 1960 may have later plumbing mixed with original materials. Moisture mapping follows the actual water path. Subfloor seams may absorb water beneath current flooring.
Basement plumbing can fail during prolonged cold. Pumps and extraction remove the water left behind. Basement contents may need sorting after pumping.
