What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Once the source is controlled, the urgent job is removing water from the building. The Cataula technician measures drying progress to reduce the 24 to 48 hour mold risk. Starting with extraction prevents standing liquid from continuing to feed wet underlayment. The specialist then checks temperature, humidity and material response during drying.

• Stop the washer cycle only if the controls can be reached from dry, stable footing.
• Close accessible hot and cold supply valves without reaching through water or behind a live appliance.
• Avoid touching the plug, cord or breaker from a wet area; an electrician handles unsafe power isolation.
