With emergencies you will need a plumber, but sometimes there’s not a plumber available to take care of your emergency.
Very important things for a homeowner to know is where is the location of the main shut off valve for the house. When looking for the main shut off it should be located under one of the hose bibs or hose connections with the outside garden.
A pipe will come from the ground to the hose and there should be a valve that turns the water off. Now sometimes you cannot find the main valve to the house then you need a meter key which you can buy the Home Depot or Lowe’s that will turn your water off at the meter box.
In the meter box, there is a slot in the meter key will fit into the slot and then you turn it the right which will, the water off will do the house. So before a broken pipe occurs in your house it’s a good idea to locate the main shut off or buy a meter key at a local plumbing supply and learn how to use it before plumbing emergencies happen.
The homeowner should try to test all of his valves underneath the sink to make sure they are in working order. If the valves are not in the working order they need to be replaced with new ones. Supply lines going to the faucets are old, they need to replace.
A lot of major floods happen in houses because of old supply lines to the faucet. The newer supply lines that are available for today have braided steel to protect the line from bursting. Also, check the supply line to the toilet in every bathroom to prevent this from happening as well.

Another area for the homeowner to look for a potential emergency is the water heater. Water heaters should always have a plastic pan underneath to protect the tank from corrosion. Corrosion will destroy the tank and cause a major leak in the house.
People that live in apartments, when they live on the second floor the situation could happen where a water heater breaks and floods the apartment and the downstairs as well.
Drain problems are considered plumbing emergencies because the whole plumbing system in the house can be completely stopped up. That means not of the toilets and the washing machines will drain. When the homeowner flushes the toilet and water back up in the bathtub the whole house is stopped up.
An important thing that a homeowner should know is the location of the clean out in their house. If the level of the cleanout is lower than the house the water will flush outside instead of flooding in the house.
