What to do if a pipe burst or you spot a leakage

Always act fast

Of course, plumbing issues don’t typically wait until it is convenient for you to call a plumber. They can happen in the middle of a work day, late at night, or while you are on vacation. You can prevent pipes from bursting by shutting off the water while you go on vacation and making sure heat can reach the pipes when it is freezing outside.

But, overall, what’s important is that you know how to act fast in case a pipe does burst in your home at an inconvenient time. What would you do with burst pipes in the latest hours.

Things you should do

The most important thing is that you do not leave the problem alone. If you simply put some towels around the area and hope for the best until morning, you are going to end up with far more problems once the leak is resolved. Here are some of the steps you should take, adjusting for the particular circumstances of your plumbing leak.

  • Collect the water – A bucket, cup, bowl, or whatever you have nearby to catch some water is the first thing you should grab. Do whatever you can to prevent further water damage

  • Shut off the pipes – It’s important that you always know where to find your water shut-off valve, in case of instances like these. Shut off the water to the whole house, or just to the area of the leak, if you can.

  • Be careful – Don’t risk your safety just to protect your home. Steer clear of switches and electrical wires that may be in the path of the leak.
