- Note when the water first appeared, what you have seen or heard, and whether it is getting worse. A short note of dates and rooms helps the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, turn off the water at the fixture or the main shut-off where you can reach it safely, and mop up standing water so floors and cabinets are not left wet.
- Do not use a household vacuum on standing water, and do not switch on electrical appliances that have got wet. Keep clear of any water near sockets or wiring.
- Keep pets and children clear of the wet rooms while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the areas involved.
