Shut Off The Source<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to turn off the water to the damaged pipe or plumbing fixture. If you can\u2019t turn off the water to just that fixture, go ahead and turn off the water main \u2014 here\u2019s a great video that walks you through the process. We also recommend turning off your water heater for good measure if you end up shutting off the water main. Don’t wait to call us on 510-257-1408<\/strong>.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assess The Situation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do some detective work to find how exactly where the water is coming from, the size of the leak, and the condition of the pipe, fixture, or toilet. This will help you determine if it\u2019s a major problem or a smaller maintenance issue \u2014 just keep in mind that the leak could possibly be the result of a larger issue elsewhere in the line. Also, take the time to clean up any standing water so it doesn\u2019t have a chance to soak into your floors.
