A Jamestown house built in the 1980s or 1990s may have finished lower rooms. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.
A seasonal shift may change outdoor work conditions without changing the need for indoor sanitizing.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
