What to Do Right Now Before the Plumber Arrives

1

Shut Off the Water Supply

Locate the shut-off valve for the affected fixture or your main water shut-off valve and turn it clockwise to stop the flow of water. This is the single most important thing you can do to limit damage.

2

Turn Off the Water Heater

If the emergency involves your water heater or a burst pipe, turn off the water heater to prevent damage to the unit. For gas water heaters, turn the gas valve to the pilot position.

3

Open Drains and Outdoor Spigots

After shutting off the main water supply, open outdoor spigots and drain faucets to redirect any remaining water away from the house and relieve pressure in the lines.

4

Document the Damage

Take photos and videos of any water damage before you start cleanup. This documentation will be valuable for insurance claims and helps the plumber understand the scope of the problem.
