1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Swartz Creek property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Swartz Creek team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
