Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Around 11% of homes were built in 2000 or later; newer rooms can still hold contaminated water beneath flooring. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bernie was built in the 1970s. Older vinyl and newer overlay flooring may hide damp backing. Porous surfaces need assessment when Category 3 water touches them.
A seasonal shift may change outdoor work conditions without changing the need for indoor sanitizing. The property owner authorizes mitigation after reviewing the proposed scope and payment terms.
