What to Do Before the Plumber Arrives
While waiting for service, a few simple steps can help reduce damage and improve safety.
Shut Off the Water If Possible
If you can safely access the shut off valve, stop the water supply to help limit damage from a burst pipe or major leak.
Avoid Using Affected Fixtures
Do not continue using sinks, toilets, showers, or drains connected to the problem area. Additional water can worsen backups and flooding.
Stay Away From Sewage or Standing Water
Sewage and contaminated water contain harmful bacteria. Keep children and pets away from affected areas until the problem has been addressed.
If possible, move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from leaking water. Once immediate safety steps have been taken, call for professional plumbing assistance.
