The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The typical home in these Decatur ZIP areas dates from the years before 1940, based on ACS housing data. Older boards can absorb water along wide joints. The cabinet base and adjacent flooring are examined as separate materials with different drying behavior.
Winter moisture still needs the same measured structural drying. Repeat readings show whether the affected construction is responding to the drying equipment. The person with building authority handles restoration decisions. Cabinet moisture and floor moisture may need separate access decisions during the cleanup.
