Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Among 2,330 housing units in the ZIP selection, 36% were built before 1980. An onsite check identifies the current HVAC location. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Manhattan was built in the 1990s. Vinyl flooring seams may admit water under the finish. Surface wiping does not establish a dry subfloor.
In colder regions, a closet unit may be used only part of the year. A new puddle still calls for extraction and drying. If the AC has leaked into flooring, an owner can photograph the initial condition before extraction. The crew then records moisture.
