Warmth from a hot pipe does not make a slab leak harmless. Water can still reach wood, drywall and adhesive beneath flooring.
- Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
- Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
- Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
- Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
- Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
