Emergency: Your First 10 Minutes

Step 1

SHUT OFF WATER (IF IT’S A LEAK)

Turn off the main water valve to stop damage. It’s often near the water meter in the basement or mechanical room. If you can’t find it fast, shut off the nearest fixture valve you can access.

Step 2

STAY SAFE AROUND ELECTRICITY

If water is near outlets, appliances, or the electrical panel, avoid standing water. Switch off the breaker for that area only if it’s safe. If you’re unsure, wait and call.

Step 3

IF IT’S A SEWER BACKUP, STOP USING WATER

Do not flush toilets, run taps, or use the dishwasher or laundry. This can make the backup worse. Keep kids and pets away from the affected area.

Step 4

CONTAIN AND PROTECT BELONGINGS

Use towels or buckets to slow the spread. Move valuables off the floor and pull items away from wet walls or cabinets. If safe, ventilate the area.

Step 5

TAKE PHOTOS FOR INSURANCE

Snap a few clear photos or a short video of the source, the water path, and any damage. This helps with insurance claims and speeds up diagnosis.

Step 6
