What should I do if I spilled water all over electrical cords, a surge protector, and a wall outlet?
lanneypoo4u asked:
Actually, my clumsy husband spilled his water all over our desk and it proceeded to spill back behind the desk and straight onto a wall outlet, and surge protector, and all over the surrounding cords. We have already disconnected his laptop from its power source as a preventative measure…what, if anything, should we do next? Can this create a bigger problem?

Soak up the water as much as possible with the cords all disconnected. Once that is done, it should be close to bedtime so put a fan directed at the area and let it run overnight. By tomorrow most of the water should be evaporated and then try plugging the dry items in and testing them. If you wait until tomorrow night they should be good to go. Jim W
