What To Do When a Leak or Backup Starts

1. Isolate water at fixture/unit/zone; keep power away from water.

2. Protect residents & corridors: cone/tape off; treat sewage as hazardous.

3. Document start time, unit(s)/stack(s), and quick photos/video.

4. Call (949) 209-5206 to dispatch White Glove Plumbing; share gate/parking access and stack/valve maps if available.

5. Notify impacted units (we can provide ready-to-send notices).

   
   

Why Fast Action Matters

• Mold can begin within 24–48 hours—early drying prevents scope creep and unit downtime.

• Average water losses are costly; rapid mitigation limits demolition and displacement.

• Clear documentation (photos, moisture logs, videos) speeds insurance approvals and re-inspections.

Outcome: Faster stop-loss + stack isolation = fewer affected units, shorter corridor closures, cleaner audits.
