Water Pipe Burst? Shut Off Your Water Immediately

If you have a water pipe burst in your Brooklyn home, the first step you should take is to your home’s main water valve and shut it off immediately. If you don’t know where your main water valve is located, take the time to learn the location so that you will be prepared in the event of an emergency. To help you find the correct water valve in an emergency, Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning offers free emergency valve tagging service to our Brooklyn neighbors. If the burst pipe is located inside your home, shut off the electricity to the affected room in your home.

Call The Brooklyn Plumbing Experts At Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning

Once you have shut the water off in your home, call the Brooklyn plumbers at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning immediately. Our 24/7 emergency plumbing service will be able to assist you in repairing the water pipe burst and damaged sections of your home plumbing system, determining if there are other leaks in your Brooklyn home plumbing system and offer repiping solutions for damaged water pipes in your home.

Remove the water and move any wet or damaged items

After the leak from a water pipe burst has been stopped, you should work on removing any wet or damaged items from the areas affected by the burst pipe. Removing any standing water with a wet-dry vacuum or a sump pump/ejector pump will help minimize the opportunity for mold and mildew to grow in your Brooklyn home and adding a dehumidifier and fans to circulate air to speed up the drying process will help protect your home and family.
