   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The New Egypt team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
