What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Prompt wall-base drying matters after a Rushford washer spill. Wet porous materials may develop mold within 24 to 48 hours, so the crew examines the cavity. Paint and trim can hide moisture near the base of a partition. Material testing establishes where the drying boundary should be placed and whether an opening is useful.

• 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.
