- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Around 4% 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 Latimer 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.
A low drain can overflow in winter as in any season; the crew maps where wastewater traveled.
