Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 95% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Hillsboro was built in the years before 1940. Earlier homes often contain materials added over several remodels. Porous surfaces need assessment when Category 3 water touches them.
The technician checks moisture inside the building rather than inferring conditions from the forecast.
