Stop Feeding an Overflowing Fixture
Avoid flushing again or running connected fixtures while wastewater is returning. If a fixture's supply is still running, use its known shutoff only when access is safe and dry. Closing a supply valve will not remove wastewater already held by a blocked drain.
Keep children and pets clear of the affected area. Do not handle electrical equipment in or near standing water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What access information helps arrange the visit?
Describe locked areas, the affected fixtures and who can authorize work at the property.
Should wet flooring be reported even after the overflow stops?
Yes. Water in materials can require cleanup and drying assessment in addition to plumbing repair.
Can closing a supply valve empty a blocked toilet?
No. It can stop incoming supply water, but the drain restriction and retained wastewater still need attention.
Why mention what happened just before the overflow?
The sequence can help distinguish a filling problem from a restriction in connected drainage.
Should I flush again after a toilet overflows?
No. Avoid adding more water until the cause is assessed, and keep connected fixtures out of use if they are backing up.
