Turn off utilities: If the water leak risks electrical systems, turn off the electricity and gas to prevent accidents.

Collect water: To prevent water damage, use buckets, towels, or containers to collect and remove water from the affected area.

Relieve pressure: Open spigots outdoors and flush toilets to relieve pressure in the pipes.

Seal leaks: Use waterproof tape or pipe clamps to seal leaks and minimize water damage temporarily.

Keep area ventilated: Open windows and doors to allow for ventilation and prevent mold growth.

Document damage: Take photos or videos of the damage for insurance claims and documentation.
