- Call a plumber or softener technician to stop the equipment leak.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet floor when safe to do so.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The Carlock area listed here includes 1,495 people in the ACS figures. A tank leak scope depends on the affected home, not population. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Carlock was built in the 1970s. A Carlock home from this era may have a finished basement added later. The crew checks beneath that floor after a well leak.
Low temperatures outside do not remove water trapped inside a finished floor. Controlled drying remains necessary.
