Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Around 23% of housing near Canandaigua dates from 2000 or later, the years of PEX tubing and flexible heater connectors. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Canandaigua was built in the 1970s. Many ranch-style homes of this period sit on slabs, so a heater leak runs across concrete and into wall bases. Extraction and dehumidification matter more than demolition there.
Cold incoming water makes a tank work harder through winter. Sediment and old seams show their age in those months. Owners who plan to sell soon should keep the drying log. A buyer's inspector may ask for proof that the leak was dried and the readings passed.
