What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
- Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
- Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
- Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
- Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Freezing weather does not change the need for source control. Drying begins after accessible water is removed.
