Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 69% of housing units in the listed Potlatch ZIPs predate 1980. Older finishes can affect water access, but the technician checks the building itself. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Potlatch was built in the 1950s. An older foundation can admit runoff at joints or low openings. The team documents the entry path found on site.
