What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.
- Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
- Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
- Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
- Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
- Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.

Copper and polybutylene both appeared in many homes of this period. A plumber identifies the pipe; a Helton crew dries the water.
