The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because basement finishes, stored contents, joists, and crawl space soil hold hidden moisture.

How Main Water Line Break Water Cleanup Works in Woodbury

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

• Close the main valve or contact the water utility for the exterior shutoff.
• Stay out of deep water near electrical panels.
• Move valuables away if safe.
