A pipe fix and a dry floor are separate outcomes. In Pretty Prairie, the technician checks slab, floor finishes and wall bases after plumbing work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Close the water supply if it can be done safely.
- Avoid walking on loose tile or wet electrical areas.
- Move movable rugs and small items off the damp floor.
- Photograph wet grout, lifted edges and wall stains.
- Do not break tile to hunt for the buried pipe.
