Water leak at night: what to do while waiting for the emergency plumber

A leak or water damage in the middle of the night? Here are the emergency steps to limit the damage before your 24/7 plumber arrives.

Shut off the water immediately

The first reflex is to close your home's main stopcock, often near the meter, under the sink or in a utility cupboard. Cutting the water stops the leak and limits flooding while you wait for the plumber.

Cut the electricity if needed

If water approaches sockets, electrical panels or appliances, switch off the power to the affected area for safety. Water and electricity are a dangerous mix to avoid at all costs.

Protect and mop up

Place basins under the flows, mop up standing water and move valuables or moisture-sensitive items. These simple actions greatly reduce the damage and ease the clean-up.
