Cut the power to wet areas. Keep away from outlets and appliances sitting in water.
Smell gas? Get everyone out first, then call your gas company or 911 from outside.
Take photos. They help with insurance and show the plumber what happened.

Common Plumbing Problems in Johannesburg

Freezing winter nights and hot summers both work against plumbing here. Half of the homes in Johannesburg were built before about 1969. Homes from that period commonly have copper supply lines paired with cast iron drains, and some still have sections of the original galvanized pipe, so a repair can turn up mixed materials. At around 3,868 feet, winter nights can drop below freezing, so insulate exposed pipes and know where your shutoff is.

Many properties beyond town limits depend on wells and septic systems, which bring their own pumps, tanks and pressure problems.
Hard groundwater builds scale in water heaters and softens up valves and seals.
Winter freezes split exposed pipes and hose bibs, often in homes where lines weren't wrapped.
