You’ve probably seen those disastrous sink leaks on TV with the water spouting in the air and some poor schmuck trying to figure out how to stop it. It’s funny when you’re watching it, but not so funny when it happens, and you become the poor shmuck. Here are some quick steps to take when you need emergency plumbing in Bellingham, WA.
- Remain calm.
The worst thing you can do is panic. Panicking can cause you to think irrationally, for example, like the poor shmuck on TV who grabs a pot when his sink has become a waterfall. Take a breath and remain calm so you can think quickly and rationally.
- Shut off the water line.
This might be easier said than done, but it still needs to be done. If you already know where the shut-off valve is, great! If not, you’re going to have to calmly look for it while your kitchen or bathroom is flooding. Again, remain calm and start searching.
- Call a professional immediately.
