If water is leaking or sewage is backing up
If safe, close the main water supply for an active supply leak. Stay away from wet electrical equipment. For sewage backups, stop using connected fixtures. If you smell gas or face immediate danger, leave and call the utility emergency line or 911 from a safe location; do not wait for an online request.
