About 27% of homes in the ZIP codes around Thornville date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Thornville was built in the 1980s. Drywall over wood studs is the norm in these houses. The drywall wicks sewage up the wall, and the studs usually stay.
Garages and unheated crawl spaces hold sewage that can freeze and thaw. A thaw can reveal a backup that happened during the cold. Owner-occupied homes tend to have more finished space and more belongings in the basement. The crew lists what is removed so the insurer sees the full picture.

Upper floors often stay usable, but stop flushing and running water until the building is cleared. The manager should check the units around the source.
