- Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Among 1 local ZIP codes, building age varies enough that the crew checks actual materials rather than assuming one assembly. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bay City was built in the 1970s. Basement conversions from this era can add finished walls near low drains. Protective extraction follows the contamination path, not a construction date.
The technician checks moisture inside the building rather than inferring conditions from the forecast.
