How to react in a plumbing emergency
Locate the water shut-off valve.
This is located next to your water meter. Once you have located your water meter, the valve next to it will be the water shut-off valve.
By turning off the shut-off valve, you will stop all water from entering your home, thus minimizing water damage. After you have shut-off the water supply, it is also a good idea to open all sink faucets to drain the water from the pipes to further minimize damage.
