FAQs
What should I do in a plumbing emergency while waiting for the plumber?
In a plumbing emergency, first turn off the main water supply to prevent further damage. Locate the main shut-off valve, which is usually in the basement or near the water meter. Also, turn off the water heater to avoid excessive pressure or overheating issues. Then, remove any nearby electrical items to prevent electrical hazards and try to contain small leaks with buckets or towels. While waiting for the plumber, inform family members of the situation to avoid any accidental use of water fixtures.
