Jobs involving apartment ceiling leak, water from neighbor apartment and apartment flood from upstairs need a check beyond the visible puddle.

• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
