Emergency Plumbing Solutions: Ruptured Pipes

A ruptured or leaking pipe in your home can cause significant stress and potential damage. To handle the situation effectively and minimize further issues, follow these four steps:

1. Turn Off Your Water Main
   Quickly locate the main shut-off valve, which is typically found in your basement or crawl space near the water heater. Turn the valve to the right (remember: “righty tighty, lefty loosey”) to stop the water flow.
2. Drain the Faucets Throughout Your Home
   After shutting off the main valve, open all your faucets to drain any remaining water from the pipes. Start with the cold taps and then move on to the hot ones. This will help reduce pressure and prevent additional leakage.
3. Clean Up the Mess
   Immediately clean up any standing water to prevent further damage to your home. The quicker you act, the less likely it is for water to cause lasting damage to floors, walls, or personal belongings.
