What Should I Do First in the Event of a Plumbing Emergency?, Kendall
In times of a plumbing emergency, quick action can mitigate damage. Here’s what to do with expert advice from A Rooter Inc.
Shut Off the Water Supply
The first step in any plumbing emergency is to immediately shut off the water supply to your home. Locate the main shut-off valve, usually found near the water meter or where the main water line enters your home. Turn the valve clockwise to close it and stop the flow of water. This crucial step prevents further water damage and flooding throughout your property. If the emergency involves a specific fixture, such as a burst pipe or overflowing toilet, you can also shut off the water supply to that fixture using the individual shut-off valve located nearby. Taking prompt action to cut off the water supply minimizes potential damage to your home's structure, furnishings, and belongings.
