Limit additional water safely
If you know the correct shutoff and can reach it safely, stopping incoming water may reduce further damage. Follow manufacturer and utility safety guidance for the appliance itself.
Check adjoining materials
Water can move beneath flooring, through wall bottoms and into nearby rooms even when the appliance area appears to be the main problem.
Restoration scope varies
Callers should describe the amount of water, affected rooms and whether the source has been stopped so a provider can determine fit and availability.
