  reasons such as pipe decay, poor installation,
  mains pressure, etc. Whatever the reason, a burst
  pipe is highly damaging and a serious problem any
  homeowner can face. Burst pipes can cause a great

• 1. Shut off the mains water When a pipe bursts
  the first and foremost thing to do is to shut off
  your homes main water valve. Its advisable to
  know where your homes main water valve is
  located to avoid loss of time as and when the
  plumbing problem occurs.
• 2. Ensure your safety and switch off the
  electricity   Depending on the location and size
  of the leak, it is advisable to shut off your
  electricity completely.  Ensure power to your
  home is fully switched off, especially if the
  leak occurred anywhere near electrical
  appliances. If you suspect the leaking water can
  come into contact with any electrical sockets
  this is an important step to take to ensure the
  safety of your pets and family members.

  skilled repairs. Theres just no substitute for
  an experienced professional and you must call one

  up savaging important belongings should be the
  next step once key things are taken care of. If
  your house is flooded from a burst pipe, its
  important to dry the wet areas as quickly as
  possible and soak up all standing water to avoid
  mold and long term damage. Items that have come
  in contact with water need to be dried
  immediately. Remove any carpets, furniture,
  personal items, important documents from the
  affected area.

  everything Review your homeowners insurance
  policy to see if your house is covered for water
  damage. Call your insurance company and try to
