Roughly 57% of occupied homes around Willard are owner-occupied, and the rest are rentals, where the landlord usually owns the heater.

A leak finds its way into the ceiling of the room below with surprising speed.
Cold floors and exterior walls dry slowly in winter. The crew raises the room temperature as part of the drying setup. A landlord who owns several units can approve work for the building in one call. Prompt access to the unit is what lets drying begin.
