How is emergency flood cleanup started in a condo?

Plastic sheeting keeps dust and moisture in the work area and out of clean rooms and shared hallways.
Does condo leak repair happen during water extraction?
The pros note the source, but the plumbing repair is done by a plumber or the association's contractor.
