- Keep a note of when it started, what you have seen, and whether it is getting worse — dates and signs help the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, shut off the water main only if you can reach it without stepping in water. Never walk through standing water to reach a shut-off or a switch, and keep away from electrics in or near standing water.
