Hello
I'm hoping someone could advise me please - I've searched the forum but cannot seem to find out the answer.
About 30 seconds worth of water (under pressure) dripped down from the bathroom and over the electric light socket in the kitchen, when I went down it seems to be making a clicking noise, ( I think it was the switch clicking and not just water dripping).
I have switched off the electric supply to the lights but would like advise please on what to do next? Should I unscrew the plate and let the inners dry out, or leave it alone? Should I leave the electric off to the lights, if so for how long? If I did switch the electric back on but leave the light switch off is this safe?
I'm primarily worried about the possibility of an electric shock or fire, and don't know if this is likely. I was planning on going away tonight, would it be ok to leave the house?
Thank you for reading this and many thanks for any advice.
Amanda
