Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 44% of homes in these ZIP codes were built in 2000 or later, and most of those have plastic drain pipe. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Topton was built in the 1980s. Many homes of this age have finished basements with a bathroom. A basement bathroom sits below the main and takes backflow first.
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. A homeowner who rebuilds a basement after a backup may add a backwater valve. A plumber can say whether one fits the house.
