Default drying out a soggy house

not sure how folks down in houston are drying out but peeling off drywall
and letting the place air dry or even with fans would not be enough for me

i would remove as much drywall and flooring as possible then put a tent
over it and seal it

then get a big outdoor industrial sized space heater and place that on
one side and a vent on the other

adjust to proper back pressure and then get the whole place up to 140
or so and let it sit for two or three days


then i would fix it and sell it and move to colorado

know of folks that live in the 500 year flood plain and they had
no flooding

interesting info on how those flood plains are determined and
apparentyl only the insurance companies have the legally usable
numbers

no doubt so they can deny claims as it suits them
