What To Do When A Pipe Bursts

 

Burst pipes can be due to corrosion, age, or freezing. It’s the most common of plumbing problems, that’s why it’s important for you to know what to do when one occurs in your property.

Do Not Panic

A burst pipe is an emergency situation, yes, but just like in any other emergency, panic will do you nothing.

Shut Off The Water

The first thing you need to do is to shut off the main water supply into your property to prevent flooding or to keep water damage to a minimum.

Be sure you do not turn on any electrical lines near the burst pipe, or simply turn off your main electrical switch.

You can also move valuable items out of the damaged area. Then remove water using mops, towels, and buckets to prevent mold.
