Burst Pipes? Here’s What to Do Next

If you’ve woken up to freezing temperatures and a burst pipe, don’t panic. Acting quickly can minimize water damage and make the restoration process smoother. Follow these steps:

1. Turn Off the Water

Locate your home’s main water shut-off valve and turn it off immediately to stop water from flowing.

2. Drain the System

Open all faucets and flush toilets to drain any remaining water from the system. This helps reduce pressure and minimizes further leaks.

3. Shut Off Electricity

If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, turn off power to that area to prevent electrical hazards. Safety first!

4. Move Valuables to Safety

If water has started to flood, move belongings to higher ground to protect them from damage.
