Establish safe access

- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Approximately 15% 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 Claremont was built in the 1940s. Older foundations can have small openings that direct rain toward interior walls. Extraction addresses the result inside.
Frozen soil can limit absorption during a thaw. Surface flow may cross a doorway and wet finished flooring.
