- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around La Porte was built in the 1960s. Copper era homes may also have remodeled kitchens with different floor coverings. A meter shows whether water moved beneath those layers.
After a thaw, a cabinet may flood even though the freeze happened earlier. Prompt extraction limits further movement into the subfloor.
