What To Do & What Not To Do
With a Burst Pipe
The actions you take in the next 10 minutes will determine how much damage your home sustains. Follow this guide while you wait for us.
Keep the Water On
Every second the main water supply stays on, more water pours into your home. Shut off the main shutoff valve, usually near the water meter, under a sink, or in the utility room before anything else.
Use Electricity in Flooded Areas
Water and electricity are lethal together. Don’t flip light switches, use outlets, or operate appliances near flooded areas. Turn off breakers to those areas from a dry location first.
Try to Patch It Yourself
Pipe repair tape and clamps are temporary at best. A professional repair done right costs far less than repeated temporary fixes or secondary damage from a failed patch under pressure.
Ignore Small Leaks After a Freeze
If pipes froze but seem OK, check carefully. Hairline cracks may leak slowly at first, then give way completely when fully thawed. Don’t assume you’re safe because it’s just a trickle.
Walk Through Sewage Backup
If a burst pipe caused sewage backup, don’t walk through it. Sewage water contains harmful bacteria and pathogens. Keep children and pets away and wait for professional clearance.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
The most important step. Find the main shutoff, usually a gate or ball valve, and turn it clockwise until completely closed. You can also shut off at the street meter as a backup.
Cut Power to Affected Areas
Go to your breaker panel from a dry path and switch off circuits serving the flooded rooms. When in doubt, shut off the entire panel. Call an electrician if wiring was submerged.
Open Faucets to Drain Pressure
After shutting off the main, open all faucets, hot and cold, to let remaining water drain from the pipes. This helps frozen sections thaw safely into drains instead of into your walls.
Move Valuables & Document Everything
Get electronics, documents, and valuables off flooded floors immediately. Then photograph and video all damage, walls, flooring, belongings. Critical for insurance claims.
