As a homeowner, you never know when a plumbing issue will move to the forefront. While some of these are more serious than others, all of them deserve your immediate attention.

What would you do if a pipe burst in your home? While you hope this never happens to you, you never know what the future will bring. Here are the steps you should take without delay:

·      Turn off the water. Rather than waste time, head for the main water shutoff in your house. This will guarantee that the water stops flowing.

·      Switch off anything that the water has come in contact with, such as a central heating system.

·      Don’t touch any wiring or switches that may have come in contact with the water. Instead, you can cut off the power at the main.

·      Contact a plumber. Not only can a professional determine what went wrong, but they can offer an idea of how to fix the problem.

·      Air out your home. While your plumber can fix your root issue, he may not be able to do much in regards to water damage. For this reason, it’s time to air out your home and decide what to do next. In some cases, all it takes is a bit of time for the impact of the leak to wear off. In other words, there is no guarantee of permanent damage.
