Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 43% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Shelby was built in the 1960s. A septic overflow can pass under cabinets installed after the original construction. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
A low drain can overflow in winter as in any season; the crew maps where wastewater traveled. An owner should ask the septic company about the source and the water damage crew about indoor materials.
