What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- 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.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The local ZIP data show roughly 59,119 people and 6% of homes built before 1960. An older valve is one possible source, not a diagnosis. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Gig Harbor was built in the 1990s. This era often has particleboard cabinet components that swell after wetting. The technician assesses whether the material can dry in place.
Changing winter temperatures can expose a weak fitting. Water cleanup follows the leak regardless of the weather that preceded it.
