- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Locust Valley was built in the 1950s. A house built before 1960 may have later plumbing mixed with original materials. Moisture mapping follows the actual water path. Subfloor seams may absorb water beneath current flooring.
