- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.

- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Joliet was built in the 1970s. Cabinet panels from this era may absorb water along unfinished edges. The crew checks for swelling and hidden dampness.
Cold air entering around a pipe opening can increase freeze exposure. The restoration technician addresses the resulting wet materials, not the plumbing cause.
