Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 54% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Penfield was built in the 1940s. Older Penfield houses can have layers of flooring that conceal sewage beneath a recent finish. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.
