Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 3% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ponder was built in the 2000s. Cabinet bases and wall trim can absorb water in a recently built home. Sanitizing begins after wastewater is removed from reachable areas.
The technician checks moisture inside the building rather than inferring conditions from the forecast.
