- Avoid touching hot water or the heater's electrical components.
- Keep rugs and furniture away from the visible wet area when safe.
- Call a heating technician to isolate the damaged heating pipe.
- Do not pull covers from a hot or energized heater.
- Call 24/7 for extraction before moisture spreads beneath more flooring.
