What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Monitoring both sides helps prevent an overlooked subfloor edge from feeding moisture back into the cavity.
- Stop using the upstairs fixture and close a safe shutoff if water is still flowing.
- Keep people clear of a sagging ceiling and any wet electrical fixture.
- Move dry belongings away from the drip without standing under damaged board.
- Take photos of the stain and wet contents before moving them when safe.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
