What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water can hide beneath a finish after the puddle disappears. A technician measures concealed dampness so drying targets more than the surface.
- Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
- Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
- Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
- Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
- Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
