- Keep clear of drain water until its source is known.
- 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
Roughly 5% of local homes predate 1960. Galvanized and early copper plumbing may be present in some of them. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ocala was built in the 1990s. Floor finishes from later renovations can trap water above an older subfloor. Separate moisture checks matter. Readings can reveal moisture under a newer finish.
Slab-on-grade homes can hide water beneath finished flooring. Moisture mapping matters. Water may wick into cabinet bases and drywall.
