Emergency Plumbing Checklist: What to Do Before the Plumber Arrives
Five steps to take in the first 60 seconds of a plumbing emergency to limit damage.
When a pipe bursts or a sewer line backs up, the first 60 seconds matter more than the next 60 minutes. Here's what to do while we're on the way.
- Shut off the main water valve to stop active leaks
- Turn off the water heater if it's involved
- If sewage is backing up, stop using all water in the house
- Move valuables and electronics off the floor
- Take photos for insurance before cleanup begins
Then call 407-780-7675
