What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.
- Avoid entering a room with energized wet outlets.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Carmichael was built in the 1970s. A pipe behind a tiled wall can wet backing materials for some time. The technician assesses each layer.
