Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Among 1 local ZIP codes, building age varies enough that the crew checks actual materials rather than assuming one assembly. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Boulder was built in the 1980s. A remodeled basement in this period may contain absorbent drywall and carpet. A technician maps the wet materials behind any visible stain.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.
