A water heater pan overflow can spread farther than the utility closet suggests. Water may travel beneath nearby flooring, into baseboards, or toward stored household items before the source is noticed. If this happens, avoid walking through wet electrical areas and do not move a heavy appliance or water heater yourself. Photograph the source and visible spread from a safe position, then call for professional assessment, extraction, and drying.
