What Should I Do While Waiting for the Provider?
If water is flowing right now, work through these steps in order:
- Shut off the main water valve, usually near the front of the house, in the garage, or in a utility box by the sidewalk. Clockwise stops water to the whole house.
- Kill power near the water. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off that breaker's area. Never touch panels with wet hands or while standing in water.
- Move valuables out of the path. Lift rugs, electronics, and furniture away from standing water.
- Contain what you can. Towels, buckets, and mops buy time. For a bulging ceiling, a bucket underneath, and a small drainage hole if it's sagging badly, can prevent a larger collapse.

Before the Provider Arrives: 3 Smart Moves
- Close the main water valve first. Every minute of flow means more damage, so stopping the supply comes before anything else. It is usually by the water meter or where the line enters the house; turn it clockwise until it stops.
- Photograph the water and what it touched. A quick video of the source and the wet areas helps the provider plan the repair and supports your insurance claim.
- Get belongings out of the water's path. If you can do it safely, move rugs, electronics, and boxes, and keep a clear route to the leak, the water heater, and the main valve. Stay away from outlets and the electrical panel if water is near them.
Then call (408) 426-9687 and say where the water is and whether it is still flowing. The provider who responds will know what to expect when they arrive.
