What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Cold, damp surfaces can hide moisture after a spill. The specialist confirms the reading with a meter rather than treating a dry appearance as proof.
- Turn off the faucet and shut the bathroom door only if doing so is safe.
- Keep people away from wet outlets and dripping fixtures below.
- Move small dry items from the spill path without crossing slippery flooring.
- Photograph the tub, floor and any lower ceiling stain from safe positions.
- Leave swollen flooring and ceiling bulges undisturbed for the crew to assess.
