What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water under a vanity may remain hidden after the leak stops. Extraction and controlled drying reduce the time that porous materials stay damp.
- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.

A sudden cold snap may affect poorly protected plumbing. Start drying promptly if water has reached absorbent materials.
