Disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse to that outlet. Then disable or replace the outlet. This is fairly easy and you can buy a new outlet at a home improvement store for a couple of bucks. If you are not comfortable working with these sorts of things call an electrician.

When the test button is pressed on a gfci outlet it sparks and trips two breakers in the main panel What could be the problem?
The test button should only trip the GFCI. The fact that it is tripping two breakers indicates that somehow both breakers are feeding your GFCI circuit. I have seen this when there was a wiring error and two circuits were joined in an outlet that was connected to a breaker and through the GFCI outlet. To troubleshoot determine which outlets are effected when both breakers are off. Pull outlet from box and if there are two feeds remove one from outlet and run a toner on wire left on outlet to panel and one off outlet to panel. The GFCI could block the toner so if one side of the outlet does not tone back to panel check at GFCI. There must be two paths to your electric panel for the two breakers to trip and the GFCI may be faulty as well. Another way to check is to have the GFCI reset and both breakers on. Check each outlet that you have identified as being on GFCI noting that they can be in different rooms. With all outlets working turn off one of the tripped breakers. See if any outlets so off. If not turn off the other breaker and turn on the first breaker. If power is still present then the outlets are being fed by both breakers.

How do you dry a wet electrical outlet?
While powerwashing, water ran down the cord into the outdoor electrical outlet. Sparks flew, and the fuse "blew" into the off position on the master panel. I tried using a blowdryer, and it worked temporarily, then the fuse blew again. I tried using a fan blowing directly into the outlet also, but that does not appear to help. Do I need to call an electrician, or will it naturally dry out over time?
