- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.

Older homes may contain galvanized supply pipes that corrode internally. A leak can travel beneath long-established finishes. Older wall finishes can conceal the first signs.
