DIY Tips & When to Call Professionals
How to Shut Off Your Water Supply in an Emergency
- Locate your main water meter (usually near the street or property boundary)
- Find the main shutoff valve next to the meter
- Turn the valve clockwise to shut off water to your entire property
- For individual fixtures, look for shutoff valves under sinks or behind toilets
- Test that water has stopped flowing by turning on a tap
⚠️ Call a Professional When: Water continues flowing after shutoff, valve is stuck or broken, or you cannot locate the main shutoff valve
Temporary Fix for a Burst Pipe
- Immediately shut off the main water supply
- Drain remaining water by opening taps below the burst
- Clean and dry the pipe area around the break
- Apply waterproof tape or pipe repair paste as temporary measure
- Place a bucket under any remaining drips
⚠️ Call a Professional When: This is always temporary - call immediately for permanent repair to prevent water damage and potential flooding
