How crawl space drying works in Julian

Julian homes and what they need
For frozen-pipe rupture events, the response sequence runs fast extraction once we arrive, structural dry-out with high-CFM air movement and oversized dehumidifier capacity (mountain humidity affects dry-out timeline differently than coastal zones), mold remediation when the loss ran long before discovery, and reconstruction.
