- Keep children, pets and visitors outside contaminated rooms.

- Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 58% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bronx was built in the 1950s. The crew checks original and newer surfaces in an older Bronx home. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
Snow and ice outside do not reveal how much contamination reached indoor flooring.
