What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A basement may look clean while moisture sits inside wall bases. The crew measures those layers and starts drying after Category 3 cleaning.
- Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.
- Do not walk through water to shut off basement power.
- Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
- Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The 818 housing units across the mapped area include many floor plans, so crews assess each loss on site. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Matagorda was built in the 1980s. Subfloor seams can allow wastewater to move beyond the first visible spot. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
A seasonal shift may change outdoor work conditions without changing the need for indoor sanitizing.
