Call Local Water Damage Repair immediately — that's step one for any water event in California, CA. Time is the most critical variable. While waiting for our crew: if there's an active plumbing source and you can safely reach the shutoff, turn off the main water supply.

Don't try to dry things with household fans — they're ineffective for structural drying. We'll be there fast.
