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.
Some pipes can split before a brief cold event ends. Check for leaks during the thaw. The supply should be shut off if a split is found. Many local homes are owner occupied. Keep photographs and drying records for any property claim.
