What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.
- Shut off the water from a dry, safe valve if seepage continues.
- Keep children and pets away from tiles that have lifted or become slippery.
- Avoid prying up tile or drilling into concrete to search for the pipe.
- Take photos of dark grout, wet trim and any returning floor water.
- Leave electrical equipment off where water touches nearby outlets.
