Burst Pipe? Shut Off the Water, Then Talk to a Pro

Right now

1. Close the main water shut-off valve. Then open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain the lines.
2. If water is coming through a ceiling or near light fixtures, turn off power to that area at the breaker if you can do it from a dry spot.
3. Catch dripping water with buckets and move furniture and electronics away.
4. Photograph the pipe, the water and everything that got wet.
5. You'll likely need a plumber to fix the pipe and a restoration company to dry out the house. Call about the water damage first; wet materials get worse by the hour.

• Water stains or dripping on ceilings below bathrooms or kitchens
• Wet spots on walls, especially exterior walls
• Hissing sounds or a jump in your water meter
• Puddles in the basement, crawl space or garage
