For a leak inside, close the main valve, often near the water heater or in a box by the street. Then shut off breakers for wet rooms. Photograph the water line and each damaged item. Those photos and the crew's moisture readings make a record you can share with your insurer. Move valuables upstairs or to a dry room.
