What to Do When You Have a Plumbing Leak (Before You Call Us)

Leaks can start small, but they often turn into big problems fast if you don’t act quickly. Whether it's a drip under the sink or a mystery puddle on the floor, here are some quick steps you can take before the pros arrive.

1. Shut Off the Water:
Find the nearest shutoff valve to stop the leak in its tracks. For bigger issues, turn off your home’s main water supply.

2. Contain the Water:
Use towels, buckets, or pans to catch dripping water and prevent further damage to floors, walls, or furniture.

3. Don’t Panic – But Don’t Wait:
Small leaks might seem harmless at first, but they can lead to mold, water damage, or even burst pipes if left unchecked.

4. Document the Damage:
If water has already caused damage, snap some photos for insurance purposes while you wait for help.
