Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 100% of housing units in the listed Etna ZIPs predate 1980. Older finishes can affect water access, but the technician checks the building itself. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Etna was built in the years before 1940. A pre-1960 house can contain layered floor finishes that trap stormwater. The assessor maps each wet layer.
