Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 87% of homes in the mapped Ridgway ZIP codes predate 1980; older finishes may hide later remodels. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ridgway was built in the 1950s. In homes from earlier construction periods, a backup may reach basement storage and wall bases. Protective extraction follows the contamination path, not a construction date.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
