Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The typical home in the selected Star ZIP codes dates from 1980s. A technician assesses the actual bathroom materials rather than assuming an age-based drying plan. Bathroom vanity panels often absorb water at their bottom edges. The assessor records swelling and wet readings.
Mixed weather does not change the need to classify wastewater. Sewage contamination calls for removal and sanitizing before drying. Property owners can authorize extraction after reviewing the contractor scope. The restoration record tracks material condition through drying.
