What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A laundry floor may hold moisture under vinyl even after towels remove the puddle. In South Richmond Hill, that trapped dampness can support mold growth after 24 to 48 hours.

• 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.
