Stop a water leak
How to stop a water leak before the plumber arrives?

How to do it? The team of expert technicians explains below the steps to be taken when dealing with a water leak before the plumber arrives.
1. Turning off the water in the main stop valve
Most homes have different valves that block the water independently in the kitchen and bathroom. Firstly is to locate the valve that turns off the piping. If the problem seems very serious, that feeds the bathroom. The interruption of the water supply in the house is also necessary when carrying out hydraulic repairs on any system or piping of the domestic plumbing system.
2. Turn off the water at the water meter
The plumbing problem is much more serious, if you have turned off the water, but the water leakage from your pipes or tap continues. In this case, you should turn off the water at the water meter itself. However, this is only a temporary solution. You no longer will be able to use water. So it doesn’t resolve the problem.
3. Check for other plumbing problems in your home
You need to inspect your home, once you have taken the right measures to stop a water leak, to see if there are any other plumbing problems.
