Plumbing emergency? What to do before your Dover Base Housing pro arrives
If it’s an active emergency, these steps keep you safe and limit the damage while a vetted Dover Base Housing pro is dispatched. When in doubt, stay clear and let the pro handle it.
- 1Shut off the water
For a burst pipe or major leak, close the fixture's shutoff valve — or the main shutoff where the line enters the house — to stop the flow before it spreads.
- 2Kill power to wet areas
If water is near outlets, appliances, or a panel, switch off that circuit at the breaker. Water and electricity together is the real danger, not the leak itself.
- 3Drain the line
Open the lowest faucet in the house to bleed pressure and pull standing water out of the pipes while you wait.
- 4Contain and document
Move valuables, lay down towels or a bucket, and photograph the damage for insurance before cleanup.
