Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 75% of homes in the mapped Dover ZIP codes predate 1980; older finishes may hide later remodels. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Dover was built in the 1950s. Older Dover houses can have layers of flooring that conceal sewage beneath a recent finish. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.
A seasonal shift may change outdoor work conditions without changing the need for indoor sanitizing. Owners arrange septic system work, and restoration pros deal with contaminated building materials.
