Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 27% of homes in the ZIP codes around Port Lavaca date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Port Lavaca was built in the 1970s. Orangeburg, a sewer pipe made of pressed fiber, went into some homes of this era. It softens over time, and a plumber's camera can spot a squeezed section.
An occasional hard freeze can crack exposed drain pipe, and heavy rain in the same year can overload the sewer. Backups come from either one. Most homes here are owner-occupied, so the owner usually makes the calls to the plumber, the crew and the insurer. Keeping every report in one folder makes the claim easier.
