The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The technician records drying conditions and provides the owner with a factual job file.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Romney was built in the 1950s. A pre-1960 house can contain layered floor finishes that trap stormwater. The assessor maps each wet layer.
