Water Everywhere? Your First 2 Minutes
- Shut off the main water. The valve is usually where the main line enters the home or at the meter box near the street. Turn it clockwise.
- Kill power/gas to the water heater if the leak involves it — breaker off, or gas dial to PILOT.
- Drain the pressure. Open the lowest faucet in the house and keep clear of standing water near outlets or appliances.
Then send the form — a local pro takes it from there. These three steps turn most plumbing emergencies into a problem that can safely wait for your pro.

While You Wait for the Plumber
Shut off the water
Find your main shutoff (usually near the meter or where the line enters the house) and turn it clockwise. This stops the damage from spreading.
Kill power to affected areas
If water is near outlets, appliances, or the breaker panel, switch off those breakers — water and electricity don't mix.
Contain and document
Towels and buckets buy time. Snap photos of the damage for your insurance claim.
