Ceiling finishes can weaken when saturated. Occupants should avoid standing beneath a bulge while the specialist determines safe access and the extent of wet insulation.

• Close accessible hot and cold supply valves without reaching through water or behind a live appliance.
• Avoid touching the plug, cord or breaker from a wet area; an electrician handles unsafe power isolation.
