Only about 36% of homes in Minnehaha were built before 1980, so most cleanups involve newer drywall and flooring, though fluids can still soak through to the subfloor. About 24% of homes in Minnehaha are rented, so many cleanups involve owners working directly with their own homeowners insurance company.
