Fire crews were called to a high street shop in Colchester after a pipe burst causing damage to the building.
Fire crews were called at 2pm on Saturday to the High Street after a burst pipe within the ceiling split, causing water to pour onto a fuse box.
Firefighters worked to isolate the water while the Electricity Board isolated the power.
By 3.45pm crews confirmed the flooding had completely stopped and the area was safe.
A spokesman for Essex County Fire and Rescue said that a back corridor of the shop has suffered from water damage.
