What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.

A plumber checks the pipe; the drying crew checks what a leak soaked.
Cold air entering around a pipe opening can increase freeze exposure. The restoration technician addresses the resulting wet materials, not the plumbing cause.
