Start here
An appliance technician or plumber addresses the failed appliance or connection. Restoration addresses water that reached floors, walls, cabinets, or nearby rooms.
Stop using the appliance and avoid touching plugs or controls while standing in water.
Close the appliance supply valve only if it is reachable without crossing wet flooring near electricity.
Check adjacent rooms and the level below for visible water without entering an unsafe area.
