What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A wiped floor is not proof that the cabinet backing is dry. Trapped moisture can support mold growth; meter readings show where structural drying is still needed.
- Close the accessible vanity shutoff if the floor and nearby electrical fixtures are safe.
- Stop using the sink until a plumber corrects the source.
- Keep toiletries and cleaning products away from pooled water.
- Photograph stains, swelling and any wet floor edge before cleanup.
- Call 24/7 when water has reached the cabinet, wall or bathroom floor.
