What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
The first pass at extraction leaves some materials wet. A technician checks under flooring and at wall bases because mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours on damp surfaces.
- Keep children, pets and bare skin away from the affected room.
- Stop using sinks, toilets, showers and laundry fixtures that feed the blocked drain.
- Call a plumber to clear the source; do not run more water to test the drain.
- Avoid outlets, cords and appliances near the wastewater. Stay out if electrical safety is uncertain.
- Photograph the visible damage from a safe, dry place and leave contaminated belongings in place.
