What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
Shut Off the Water
Know where your main water shut-off valve is located. In Bothell homes, this is typically where the water line enters your house. Turning it off stops water flow and prevents further damage.
Turn Off Your Water Heater
If there's significant water loss, turn off your water heater to prevent damage. For gas water heaters, turn the gas valve to "pilot" or "off."
