What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.
- Move valuables off the wet floor if safe.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Owner-occupied homes make up about 96% of the area around Cory. Property owners should keep cleanup records for claim review. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Cory was built in the 1970s. Some homes from these decades have multiple generations of plumbing. A crew checks where water traveled, not only where it began. Material age alone does not determine what can be saved.
