What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold needs moisture, food and time. Wet paper-faced drywall supplies the food, the leak supplies the moisture, and the crew's job is to take the time away.
- Move people and pets out from under the wet spot, because a ceiling holding water can drop all at once.
- Stop the source if it is a pipe or an appliance: close the shutoff valve or switch off the upstairs fixture.
- Flip the breaker for that room only from a dry spot. If the panel sits in a wet area, stay away and call.
- Set a bucket under the drip, lay plastic below it and lift rugs, electronics and papers out of the zone.
- Photograph the ceiling, the floor and anything damaged before it moves, then dial (888) 527-9134.
