Apparently, The chain on the flushing handle (in the toilet) broke and got caught in the rubber flapper and bingo!!!

So I scurried to get the Wet Vac and it's accessories to deal with this while Angel called the insurance adjuster and filed a claim. She also called an emergency water removal company to assist. So far, my son and I have vacuumed 24 gallons of water out and it's still flooded!
Oh and I took pictures prior to vacuuming.

Question...
Anything else I should do or know about when dealing with sort of thing?

Thanks,
