Preserve the useful detail
Dry reachable surfaces, observe one controlled use, and note the first return of moisture, hot or cold behavior, appliance timing, and shutoff effect.
The decision on display
Do not transfer the hazard
Do not reach into wet power, enter sewage, force valves, or remove finish material before the path is narrowed.
Make the proposed work comparable
Separate source repair, access, drying, fixture removal, test, cleanup, and finish restoration in the written scope.
