What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
The first day after a supply hose break matters for cabinet materials. Prompt extraction leaves less water in the floor and wall layers.
- 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.
