- Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.

The building date is context; actual wet materials decide the cleanup. New finishes wait until affected structure is dry.
The technician checks moisture inside the building rather than inferring conditions from the forecast.
