What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Prompt wall-base drying matters after a Salt Lick 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.

• 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.
• Keep children and pets out of wet rooms, especially beneath a dripping ceiling.
• Photograph visible damage from a safe spot and tell building management if another unit may be affected.
