What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Swelling at a cabinet base shows that material has already absorbed water. The crew checks whether drying can save it or whether removal is needed at the Redgranite home.
- Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
- Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
- Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

- Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
