What to do first in Signal Hill
In Signal Hill, many homes share plumbing. About 44% of homes are in buildings of 5 or more units. There, the first call may be to the building manager, who can close a shared valve. If you can reach your own shutoff, close it now.
Turn off power to any wet room at the breaker box if the floor in front of it is dry. Photograph where the water came from, the water line on walls and each damaged item. If water is coming through your ceiling, photograph that too and knock on the door above. Get rugs, shoes and paperwork up off the floor. Renters should send photos to the landlord. Water-stained ceiling repair and water removal both start with that record. Someone answers 24/7.
