- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.

The crew checks adjacent baseboards and rooms for damp material.
Winter risk varies by insulation and pipe placement. The crew evaluates the actual water path rather than assuming every sink loss came from ice.
