Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 60% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Troy was built in the 1940s. Earlier homes often contain materials added over several remodels. Porous surfaces need assessment when Category 3 water touches them.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside. Both owners and renters may encounter sewage in Troy homes. Occupants should first stay clear and notify the person responsible for the property.
