What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A closed sink cabinet can hold moisture against wood and drywall, so the crew checks it promptly.
- 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.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Clayton was built in the 1990s. A 1990s cabinet may hide a flexible faucet hose behind stored products. A break can soak the floor before water becomes visible.
