Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The data indicates 70% of nearby housing units were built before 1960. Renovations can change the floor and wall layers a crew finds. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Irene was built in the years before 1940. Several generations of flooring can complicate drying. The crew identifies the wet layers before choosing an access plan.
Cold weather does not prevent an old AC stain from hiding damp material. Moisture readings test the condition found. If the AC has leaked into flooring, an owner can photograph the initial condition before extraction. The crew then records moisture.
