- 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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Occasional freezing is one cause among pressure and aging fittings. The cleanup plan depends on where water actually traveled.
