Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 3% of the housing around Saint Clair Shores was built in 2000 or later. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Saint Clair Shores was built in the 1950s. Old houses often have layers of flooring stacked over a wood subfloor. Water gets between the layers and stays. The crew lifts sections only where the readings stay wet.
Cold weather keeps windows shut, and that traps humid air inside. Dehumidifiers do the work that opening a window cannot. Owner-occupied homes mean one person usually decides on repairs and on the drying plan. The crew can explain each opening and each piece of equipment to that person.
