Roughly 85% of occupied units in the listed ZIP codes are owner-occupied. Keep source and drying records regardless of ownership. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Stephenson was built in the 2000s. Recent construction still has toilet seals and tub overflows that need maintenance. The crew assesses the category and extent when those parts fail.
Temperature swings can expose a loose fitting, but tub and shower drains also leak without cold. The plumber identifies the actual cause. Owner occupancy is common locally. The crew records moisture and material removal so the homeowner can explain the loss to an insurer.
