What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Cleanup does not wait for a test to prove a problem. The first moves are always the same: remove standing water, pull what cannot dry and run dehumidifiers. Waiting for proof only hands moisture more time.
- Stay out of the room until the rest of the ceiling is checked
- Keep children and pets away from debris and dust
- Switch off power to the room at the panel only from dry ground
- Shut the water off if a pipe is the source
- Photograph the debris, the opening and ruined belongings before anything moves
