- Diagnosis: what evidence identifies the water or humidity source?
- Scope: exactly what materials, systems and areas are included?

- Drying / remediation: how will wet materials and hidden cavities be handled?
- Warranty: what is covered, excluded and dependent on maintenance?

How to read this: this is state-level orientation, not a claim that every home in Philadelphia has the same climate, construction or moisture risk. US states can span multiple climate regions. Diagnose the actual water pathway first.
