What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A closed laundry closet traps humid air after a leak. Without airflow and dehumidifiers, the damp corners stay damp. The crew sets equipment so moist air actually leaves the space.
- Stop using every sink, tub, toilet and washer in the home
- Keep children, pets and bare feet out of the water
- Leave the washer unplugged with both valves closed
- Skip the household vacuum and never mix bleach with other cleaners
- Photograph the water, the drain and damaged items from a safe spot
