Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 85% of housing units in the listed ZIP codes predate 1980. Building layers can vary, so the technician checks the actual wet assembly. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Jekyll Island was built in the 1960s. A closet air handler can wet the wall base behind nearby cabinets. Moisture readings trace the actual path.
Intermittent AC cycles can hide a slow pan leak. Moisture mapping shows what stayed wet between cycles. If the AC has leaked into flooring, an owner can photograph the initial condition before extraction. The crew then records moisture.
