- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The ZIP areas around Compton include about 615 residents and 250 homes. A cabinet flood still needs an assessment of its actual wet materials. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Compton was built in the 1940s. Some older cabinets use absorbent wood or fiber panels. The drying plan reflects how those materials respond to wetting.
Cold air entering around a pipe opening can increase freeze exposure. The restoration technician addresses the resulting wet materials, not the plumbing cause.
