What to do while waiting for the emergency plumber to
arrive.
1. Shut off the water ASAP
Somewhere in your building is your main water shutoff valve. It may be in the basement, in a
closet, or outside of the house, possibly near the water meter. Wherever your valve is, shutting off the
water will lessen the damage.

Toilets will have a shut off value around the back, and kitchen and bathroom sinks will have a value in the
cupboard underneath.
2. Before your plumber arrives there are a couple things you can do to make things
easier for yourself, and your plumber. First, if you haven’t already shut off your water, do it now.
Also, be sure to clear away any obstacles around the area where the plumber will be working.
Every homeowner should take a few moments to locate the main water shut off valve in their home in case
of a plumbing emergency. This is very important in case you ever need to shut off the water supply to your
entire building, or when a plumbing fixture, such as a toilet or hot water heater has no local shut off
valve.
