What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Cabinet bases and drywall absorb water from a slab leak. Prompt drying helps keep those porous materials from staying saturated.
- Shut off the water supply from a safe dry position if the leak continues.
- Keep wet kitchen appliances off until an appropriate trade checks them.
- Move loose items from dry cabinet shelves without touching damaged wiring.
- Photograph swollen toe kicks, floor seams and the path of spreading water.
- Avoid pulling out a heavy dishwasher or cutting cabinet bases yourself.
