Steps to Minimize Damage Before We Arrive
When a plumbing emergency strikes, taking immediate action can help reduce damage and protect your home until our expert plumbers arrive. Here are five crucial steps you can take:
- Shut Off the Water – Locate your home’s main water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop the flow of water. If the issue is isolated (like a leaking toilet or sink), use the local shut-off valve near the fixture.
- Turn Off Your Water Heater – If you have a major leak or burst pipe, shut off your water heater to prevent overheating and potential damage. For gas water heaters, turn off the gas supply as well.
- Contain Leaks and Remove Standing Water – Use towels, buckets, or a wet/dry vacuum to soak up excess water and prevent further damage to flooring, walls, and furniture. If possible, place a container under leaks to catch water.
- Clear and Protect the Affected Area – Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the water-damaged area. If safe to do so, elevate appliances or place them on dry surfaces to prevent electrical hazards.
- Check Your Sump Pump (If Applicable) – If your basement is flooding, ensure your sump pump is working properly. If it’s not running, check for power issues or debris in the pit. If it has failed, call us immediately for emergency sump pump repair.
