Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Around 76% of homes were built in 2000 or later; newer rooms can still hold contaminated water beneath flooring. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Gainesville was built in the 2000s. New construction does not make Category 3 wastewater safe to handle. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
A seasonal shift may change outdoor work conditions without changing the need for indoor sanitizing. An owner should ask the septic company about the source and the water damage crew about indoor materials.
