A plumber can stop a valve leak, but the surrounding particleboard may stay wet. The restoration technician measures it and sets equipment for the affected structure.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
