- Turn off the main supply only if the valve is reachable from a dry place.
- Call a plumber for the pipe beneath the slab.
- Stay clear of wet outlets, cords and powered appliances.
- Photograph visible water and note which rooms are changing.
- Avoid drilling, cutting concrete or lifting attached flooring yourself.
