What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop using the tub and keep others out of the room beneath the leak.
• Use a dry, accessible shutoff if water is still flowing from a supply connection.
• Leave wet light fixtures and switches alone; get electrical help when needed.
• Move small belongings only from dry, stable flooring.
• Photograph the stain and puddles from a safe position.
