Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Roughly 72% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Maplewood was built in the years before 1940. Older Maplewood houses can have layers of flooring that conceal sewage beneath a recent finish. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.

An overflow can happen in mild or cold weather; Category 3 care is based on contamination. A policyholder can photograph the damage safely and check any water backup endorsement.
