Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The 12,420 housing units across the mapped area include many floor plans, so crews assess each loss on site. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Cortland was built in the 1950s. Older Cortland houses can have layers of flooring that conceal sewage beneath a recent finish. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.
Snow and ice outside do not reveal how much contamination reached indoor flooring. Owners arrange septic system work, and restoration pros deal with contaminated building materials.
