How Toilet Leak Into Basement Water Cleanup Works in Gibson Island

• Stop using the toilet above the affected basement area.
• Close the toilet shutoff valve if a supply leak is suspected.
• Keep away from wet basement lights, outlets and equipment.
• Move dry stored items away from dripping water if safe.
• Photograph both rooms and note when the drip first appeared.
