   A meter helps locate damp building layers after the visible sewage is gone.

4. Dry the structure and verify

The 20,720 housing units across the mapped area include many floor plans, so crews assess each loss on site. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Gonzales was built in the 2000s. New construction does not make Category 3 wastewater safe to handle. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.

Changing weather does not tell the crew which floor layers absorbed wastewater. Keeping septic work and indoor cleanup invoices separate makes the loss record easier to understand.
