What to do if water leaks through the floor?

If water is leaking through the floor, it is important to find the source of the leak and stop it as soon as possible. This may involve turning off the water supply to the affected area or calling a plumber to repair the leak. Once the leak has been stopped, you can begin to clean up the water damage.

To clean up water damage from a leak in the floor, you will need to:

  • Remove any standing water from the floor.
  • Blot up as much water as possible with towels or a wet/dry vacuum.
  • Open windows and doors to ventilate the area.
  • Set up fans to circulate the air and help dry out the floor.
  • If the floor is made of wood, you may need to remove the damaged section and replace it.
