Why the Sequence Matters

Finishes should not be replaced before wet materials are dry, contaminated materials are addressed, and the source is corrected.

1. Observe and document

Record the location, timing, visible condition, and anything that changes it.

2. Address immediate risk

Protect people and property from active water, electrical hazards, contamination, and unstable materials.

3. Choose the next step

Move to investigation, mitigation, remediation, repair, or further guidance based on the evidence.
