8 Things To Do When a Pipe Bursts in Your Home

When a pipe bursts in your home, quick action is crucial to minimize damage. First, turn off the main water supply to stop the flow. Next, open your faucets to drain the remaining water in the pipes. Use towels or buckets to catch water and prevent it from spreading. Once the leak is controlled, inspect the damage and move any valuables away from the area. Call a plumber to fix the pipe, and if needed, contact your insurance company to report the damage. Finally, clean up the area and allow it to dry to avoid mold growth.
