Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Owner-occupied units account for about 86% of the area housing stock. Whoever occupies the Munster property should document the leak and notify the responsible owner or insurer. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Munster was built in the 1970s. Kitchens from this period often have later appliance updates. A newer dishwasher can sit over older flooring layers, which the Munster crew checks for hidden saturation.

Winter heating can dry indoor air but cannot remove trapped water beneath flooring. The Munster restoration team still uses measured structural drying.
