What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Warmth from a hot pipe does not make a slab leak harmless. Water can still reach wood, drywall and adhesive beneath flooring.
- Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
- Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
- Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
- Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
- Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 61% of local housing units predate 1980. Mixed plumbing and remodeled floor assemblies are possible in older homes. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Colton was built in the 1970s. Cabinets built over a damp slab can wick water at their bases. The Colton cleanup team checks those low points.
Freezing weather does not change the need for source control. Drying begins after accessible water is removed.
