Whatever the reasons behind the burst pipes it
leads to having bad consequences at our house.
From flooding basements to water invasion in
your fuse boards creating serious problems or
the usual property damage. Not only that you can
experience a worse situation or I can say its
like your worst nightmare when you have a water
line leak at your house.

So, here are the steps you need to know to cope
up with an emergency!!

1. Call the professionals
The very first and foremost step whenever we
notice there is a water line burst, all you need
is to call professional experts. If the situation
is under control then firstly shut off the main
valve and then call the l ocal emergency plumber
Melbourne but if not then calling is a priority.

2. Stop the water flow by
shutting off the main valve
Thats a very simple step but when an emergency
strikes we cant get this thing in mind.
Shutting off the main valve is important to
prevent water damage as well as your house too.
Try to find out the main valve in your basement,
if you cant find it there then try searching
for it in the kitchen.

3. Pour out the water from the pipes to empty
them
Once you turn off the main valve, empty the pipes
on the first basis. Let the water run through
all the possible ways from faucets or flushes.
Just to make sure it doesnt come out from where
it is not supposed to.

4. Turn off the heater and empty the hot water
faucets.
Empty water from pipes is good but what about
removing hot water from pipes as well as turning
off the water heater. Well, its the worst thing
that we cant imagine after a water line leak.
So, turn off the heater and empty the pipes
containing the hot water.

5. Shut down the electricity supply
before the water reaches electric slots or fuses.
Always try to control the situation before it
becomes worse. Especially waterline repair
problems, try to control it before it converts
into an electrical problem. Turn off all the
switches and electricity main switchboard safely.

6. Scout for the source of the leak and try to
figure out how big the leak is
If you find the source of a leak while handling
the situation, it becomes easier for you and
your plumber to address the problem nicely. So,
if you see bulging pipes, damp walls, or any
dripping pipe, you now can figure out how big it
is and at least try to stop the water dripping
until l ocal plumbing group Geelong help arrives.
