Among the selected postal areas, 75% of dwellings predate 1980 and 9% date from 2000 onward. Both can suffer toilet overflows. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lima was built in the 1960s. A Lima bathroom from this era may have copper supply tubing and older drain fittings. The plumber identifies faults; the crew maps water.
A hard freeze does not change the plumber’s role. The restoration technician handles water already in the building. A wet ceiling below the bathroom belongs in the same property record. Capture both levels.
