- Common local pattern: sump failures during heavy rain and power outages
- Housing context: mountain and desert parcels with longer response staging
- Climate and access factor into equipment sizing and ETA
- Related path: extraction, then structural drying, then rebuild
- Insurance documentation from the first moisture map
