• Flooring. Firstly you should stop the flow of water from wherever it is coming from. If this is a bastard hype inside the house then shut off the water at the mains and don't turn back on again until you fix the part. The next thing to do is to try off the floor as much as possible. If the damage is limited to the surface then this can be done with a mop and a fan but if the damage is lower down then further methods will be needed.
