What To Do Immediately

- Keep receipts for any temporary repairs or emergency supplies you purchase
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
What Not To Do
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing within 24–48 hours

- Do not enter rooms with sagging ceilings or visible structural damage
- Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet
