What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A Port Penn crew extracts washer water and checks subfloor layers before the surface dries. If the spill reached another room, the assessor follows the water there rather than stopping at the laundry threshold. Prompt removal reduces how long absorbent layers remain damp.

• 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.
