Homeowners, what should you do if your plumbing malfunctions? You must stop the water damage from worsening before you even pick up the phone to call for assistance. While some pipes might have specific shut-off valves, it’s best to be safe and turn off the main water valve. Unfortunately, too many people don’t know where their main water valve is. Many residences usually have them by the water heater or furnace. Some house designs have them beneath the kitchen sink.

The Next Step
Turning off your water main will stop any new water from penetrating your pipes. However, there is still some remaining water inside that must be drained. The excess water may slide out through the plumbing problem, which may be helped by dumping it into a bucket. For a faster way, turn on your taps! Turning on your taps will help get the remaining water out of your pipes sooner so it doesn’t drain somewhere harmful and cause water damage on your property.
Water Damage Clean-Up
Cleaning a home after water damage is a critical and time-consuming task. Simple DIY drying techniques are often insufficient when eliminating water from your home or office. Since your walls, floor coverings, and carpet are porous, more than a simple cleaning and water damage cleaning are necessary.
