Cut the power to wet areas. Keep away from outlets and appliances sitting in water.
Smell gas? Get everyone out first, then call your gas company or 911 from outside.
Take photos. They help with insurance and show the plumber what happened.

Common Plumbing Problems in Carpinteria

Salt air and a shallow water table set the pattern here. Half of the homes in Carpinteria were built before about 1974. Homes from that period commonly have copper supply lines paired with cast iron drains, and some still have sections of the original galvanized pipe, so a repair can turn up mixed materials.

Salt air corrodes exposed copper, hose bibs and gas meters faster than it does inland, so pinhole leaks and stuck valves show up sooner.
Low-lying blocks near the water can have a high water table, which makes sewer and slab work wetter and slower.
Older sewer laterals pick up roots from mature street trees, and backups often arrive with the first heavy rain of the season.
