Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS figures put the share built before 1960 at 9% around Darien. Older buildings can contain newer tank systems. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Darien was built in the 1970s. Older cabinet bases can wick water from a softener overflow. The assessor tests them before a salvage decision.
Low temperatures outside do not remove water trapped inside a finished floor. Controlled drying remains necessary.
