- Close the cold water valve and turn off the power or gas to the heater.
- Open the closet door to let air in once the area is safe.

Drain pans were not always installed with heaters in this period. A tank that leaks without a pan sends its water directly into the framing.
Spring thaw and heavy rain can add outside water to a basement. If it meets heater water, the crew treats the mix by its worst category.
