What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A basement may look clean while moisture sits inside wall bases. The crew measures those layers and starts drying after Category 3 cleaning.
- Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.
- Do not walk through water to shut off basement power.
- Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
- Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 83% of homes in the mapped Holyoke ZIP codes predate 1980; older finishes may hide later remodels. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Holyoke was built in the 1940s. The crew checks original and newer surfaces in an older Holyoke home. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.
