What To Do When Your Bathroom Floods

1. Turn the water supply off in the bathroom.

2. Clean up as much excess water as you can, if possible.

• Take a mop or some towels to get the excess water cleaned up

3. Call a plumber.

• They will come and help you find the source of the leak and fix the leak.
