Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Heavy summer thunderstorms can send a surge through an aging sewer. The first sign may be a gurgling basement drain. 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.
