What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Drying begins with liquid removal because a standing puddle keeps feeding the wet structure. The local crew measures the Albert City floor layers and places equipment for the remaining moisture.
- Stop the wash cycle and avoid opening the dishwasher if water is still moving toward electrics.
- Keep children and pets away from used wash water.
- Do not touch wet outlets or power cords; leave electrical concerns to an electrician.
- Move dry items away from the spreading edge without walking through deep water.
- Take pictures of the water boundary and affected materials when safe.
