What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Dry conditions are confirmed with measurements of the affected materials. A room that merely feels comfortable can still contain a damp joist bay, so the crew checks the cavity before finish work.
- Stop using the upstairs fixture and close a safe shutoff if water is still flowing.
- Keep people clear of a sagging ceiling and any wet electrical fixture.
- Move dry belongings away from the drip without standing under damaged board.
- Take photos of the stain and wet contents before moving them when safe.
