Steps To Take
You must handle a flooded bathroom very carefully. Never try to fix the issue on your own unless you are licensed plumber. Some things you need to do are:
- Switch off the electrical circuit to your bathroom. Water is a good conductor of electricity. If any electrical connection comes in contact with the flooded water, it can result in a short circuit or electrocution which you want to avoid at all costs.
- Turn off the main water valve near the water meter on your property. That will prevent further flooding.
- If you have a separate isolation valve in your bathroom, you can turn that off instead.
- If the leak is from a pipe leading to a specific fixture like a sink or bathtub, you can turn off the valve connected to it.
- Ensure that any elderly or very young family members stay away from that space. The water can contain germs and bacteria that can harm their health.
- It’s best to wear rain boots before you enter the flooded bathroom.
- If you have an overflowing toilet, make sure you don't flush it just then, as that will cause the situation to worsen.
