    Running water into electric socket
    I had a leak from an upstaires flat that's run into my electric socket. Is it safe to use after water running into this. I've been told just leave a few days to dry out an it'll be OK but then told it should have been isolated.

    Let it dry, help it with a hair dryer, and it will be fine. Outdoor outlets get water in them all the time.
