If a pipe bursts in your home, it’s essential to act fast to avoid any water damage. The first step is to turn off the water supply to the area where the pipe has burst to prevent any further flooding. If there’s standing water, turning off the electricity in the affected area is important too. You should then reach out to a plumber to fix the burst pipe as soon as possible. While waiting for the plumber, use towels or a wet/dry vacuum to remove as much water as possible. Don’t forget to open windows and doors for ventilation to prevent mold growth.
