- Stop flushing and close the toilet valve if safe.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

Copper-era plumbing can still cause broad water damage when a joint opens suddenly. Prompt extraction limits continued soaking. Drying continues after the pipe itself is fixed.
