Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 60% of housing units in the listed Centerville ZIP codes predate 1980. Older finishes can affect flood cleanup choices. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Centerville was built in the 1970s. Mid-century homes sometimes have low exterior doors. A storm flood can move quickly through that opening into adjacent rooms.
Cold weather does not remove contamination from outside runoff. Protective cleanup still applies.
