- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Colorado City was built in the 1950s. Age alone does not tell the technician where wastewater went. New finishes wait until affected structure is dry.
The technician checks moisture inside the building rather than inferring conditions from the forecast.
