That happened to a neighbour of mine a few years ago. I could hear running water for a while and thought he was hosing his path, it was when I saw water pouring out of the overflow in the roof that I realised that something was up. Both of my neighbours were away and so I had to find the neighbour that was looking after their house. When we went inside water was pouring through the downstairs ceiling. We went to the fire station where his friend worked and they came out to sort things out, apparently they can be called out in that situation as it is a safety issue .The float on the ball valve in our bathroom parted company with the lever arm that closes off the water supply. There was a minor inundation through the ceiling lights in the room below.
