Turn the Water Off
The first thing you should do once you hang up the phone is to go outside and turn your water off at the source. This will ensure that no more water flows through your pipes and out onto your floor. This is an easy task that anyone can do if they know where the main valve is located.
Try to Soak Up the Water
If your flooring is submerged under two feet of water, then you may not be able to clean up the water. If it is just a couple of inches though, you may be able to clean up most of the water without a plumber’s industrial grade equipment.
These quick and easy tips give you a better chance to save your home.
