Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 69% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Wallace was built in the years before 1940. Earlier homes often contain materials added over several remodels. Porous surfaces need assessment when Category 3 water touches them.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.
