## The next five minutes

- Stay out of water near electricity. Shut off basement breakers only if you can reach the panel without stepping in water.
- Burst pipe or appliance: close the main water valve, usually in the basement where the line enters.
- Floor drain backing up: stop using all water in the house; treat it as sewage.
- Sump pump down: check for a tripped GFCI, an outage, or a stuck float.
- Photograph everything before you move it.
- Call rather than wait — mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours.

## Two deadlines

- Public sewer backup: written notice to the city or utility within 45 days of discovery (MCL 691.1416–.1419).
- Mold: start drying within 24–48 hours.
