Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 68% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ellinwood was built in the 1950s. Wall and floor assemblies in older buildings can be difficult to see from the surface. Sanitizing begins after wastewater is removed from reachable areas.
