Some homes from these decades have multiple generations of plumbing. A crew checks where water traveled, not only where it began. Material age alone does not determine what can be saved.
Basement plumbing can fail during prolonged cold. Pumps and extraction remove the water left behind. Basement contents may need sorting after pumping. Property owners can save records of removed materials. Those details help describe the cleanup.
