-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
A wet cabinet toe kick can hide water against the wall. The technician tests the cavity rather than relying on surface appearance.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Storm water often reaches dirtier surfaces than fresh supply water. Mold may begin growing on damp materials after 24 to 48 hours after saturation. Contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying proceeds.
- Keep weight off loose tile and stop water entering the floor assembly.
- Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
- Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
- Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
