General tips and rules when waiting for your emergency plumber

It is important that when you suspect a plumbing emergency in your place that certain actions should occur. Here is what we recommend what to do when waiting for your plumber to arrive:

• Turn off electricity – if the problem is with flooding of your home, it is extremely safe and recommended to turn off the electricity. This is because if water mixes with power outlets and alike, a blaze/ fire might start. Also, do not touch water that has been in contact with any electrical devices/ appliances. 
• Turn off the main water valve – if leaking and/or flooding is the issue, turning off the water can stop hazards and problems. Such as wasted water or flooding can also be prevented. If there is access to turn off the main water supply, do so until the tradesmen arrives.
• Turn off gas – any problems with the water heater occurs and the smell of gas is present, immediately turn off the gas. Gas levels increasing can cause explosions from even clothes making static electricity. Move away from the premises, call help and wait for the plumber and emergency crew to arrive.
