The typical home in the ZIP codes around Stanley was built in the 1990s. Pipe type does not tell how far the water traveled. In Stanley, the ceiling and nearby walls need their own moisture checks.
After a thaw, damaged plumbing can release water rapidly. A Stanley technician checks whether it reached the ceiling cavity.
