First Steps During a Plumbing Emergency
Shut off the fixture or main water valve if safe to do so. Turn off the gas supply if you smell gas and leave the area before calling for help.
Move valuables away from active leaks and document damage for insurance if needed.
Know Your Shut-Off Locations
Every adult in the home should know where the main water shut-off and gas shut-off are located.
Label valves clearly and test them once a year so they turn easily in an emergency.
Call for Help When
You see active sewage backup, major water flow you cannot stop, gas odors, or water near electrical panels.
