1. Shut Off the Main Water Supply
The very first step is to locate and turn off your main water valve. This stops the flow of water and prevents further flooding.
2. Switch Off Electricity Near the Affected Area
If water is spreading near electrical outlets or appliances, turn off the electricity at the breaker to reduce the risk of shocks or fire.
3. Drain the Remaining Water
Open taps to let out any residual water in the pipes. This helps relieve pressure and reduces additional leakage.
4. Contain the Leak
Use buckets, towels, or pans to catch water. Move furniture and valuables out of the affected area.
5. Call a Professional Plumber Immediately
