- Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
- Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
- Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
- Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
