What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Dirty water calls for cleaning before ordinary drying proceeds. The crew assesses contamination and removes affected porous material that cannot be restored.
- 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.

An attic line above a bathroom can fail during unexpected cold. Water may enter a ceiling cavity before it appears below.
