The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS figures show 72% owner occupancy among the 78,116 housing units in the listed areas. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Melbourne was built in the 1990s. The crew looks beneath toe kicks for damp substrate. An older floor opening can carry a small drip into a cavity that needs separate measurements.
Drying equipment addresses the material moisture, not the climate alone. Repeat readings show whether the affected construction is responding to the drying equipment. Owners should track the work completed in each building layer. The lower unit may need inspection when water has crossed a shared ceiling.
