Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Approximately 3% of units in the selected ZIP area were built in 2000 or later. Newer materials can also retain stormwater. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Hume was built in the 1950s. Older foundations can have small openings that direct rain toward interior walls. Extraction addresses the result inside.
Cold weather does not remove contamination from outside runoff. Protective cleanup still applies.
