What should I do while waiting for your crew to arrive?

If it's safe: turn off electricity to the affected area, stop the water source if you can identify it, move valuables to dry areas, and avoid walking through standing water (it may be contaminated). Don't try to use a household vacuum on water — it's a shock risk. We'll handle everything else when we arrive.
