Do you know what to do if a pipe breaks?

A broken pipe, and the water damage cleanup it causes is a nightmare for every homeowner or office manager.  Even a broken sink pipe with a small amount of water can do significant damage in a short -period of time.  Do you know what to do?

The first thing that you should do is find the source of the water damage and stop the flow of additional water from entering your home.  The more water the bigger the water damage cleanup and more extensive the problem.  It's easy to figure out when you've left a faucet on or the supply line on the toilet broke. What if you have a broken pipe that has burst that can’t be seen, you must turn off the water supply to your home as quickly as possible.  The water main is often in your front yard under a cement plate designated “Water”.
