Minimal Damage water leaks – What to do

5/13/2021 (Permalink)

1. Turn Off Water in Home– It is important to locate your water meter and turn off the water in your home before the leak results in more damage.
2. Clean Up Mess– If you catch the leak early enough, it is important to clean up the mess immediately. Failure to clean up a water leak can result in mold and mildew and present more problems down the road. For this reason, it is important to disinfect anything the water has touched. Be sure to be conscientious of what you are touching, and wear protective clothing such as gloves, boots, dust, and eye masks if possible.
3. Fix Issue that Resulted in Leak– If the leak cannot be fixed on your own, call a plumber to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
