Who should I call when water is leaking near electrical wiring?

Water near energized wiring is an electrical-shock and fire emergency. Keep away and address electrical safety before normal leak repair.

Urgency: emergency

What this means

Do not touch water, fixtures, switches, or the electrical panel if the route to it is wet.

Keep everyone away
call emergency services for active arcing, smoke, or immediate danger
otherwise call the electrical utility or a licensed electrician, then a plumber.

Never step through water to shut power off and never assume a wet circuit is safe because a light is off.

Contact the matched licensed or qualified trade if safe checks do not resolve the issue.
