Pipes don't warn you before they burst. One minute everything's fine, the next you've got water pouring across your floors.
If this happens to you, here's what to do right away:
- Shut off the main water valve
- Turn off electricity near the water if it's safe to do so
- Open faucets to drain the pipes
- Move furniture and valuables out of harm's way
- Take photos for your insurance
- Avoid a regular vacuum — it's not built for water and electrical risk
Acting fast limits the damage, but drying out a home completely takes professional equipment and experience.
