Older vinyl and newer overlay flooring may hide damp backing. Porous surfaces need assessment when Category 3 water touches them.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside. The property owner authorizes mitigation after reviewing the proposed scope and payment terms.
