Introduction
Plumbing emergencies can strike at any moment, leaving you in a panic. Knowing how to handle these situations can save you from further damage and stress. Here’s a step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Shut Off the Water Supply
Locate your home’s main water shut-off valve and turn it off to prevent further flooding or damage.
