Hydraulic Emergency
What to do when a hydraulic emergency happens?
When a hydraulic emergency occurs, what can be done to minimize the damage? Of course, you should call an emergency plumber in Sutton ASAP so that the problem can be fixed quickly, but what about those precious minutes before your plumber arrives? Protect your home from further damage with these steps.
Turn off the water
Cutting off the water supply can do a lot to mitigate damage until the emergency plumber arrives. Start by turning off the water supply closest to where the emergency is occurring. For example, if you have an overflowing toilet, turn off the water supply to the valve behind the toilet. In some cases, it may be necessary to turn off the main water supply, particularly if a large leak occurs. Know where the main water supply valve is located. So, in that way, you do not have to drive it out when problems occur. Keep in mind that most of the water valves turn clockwise to turn off.
Turn off your water heater
Even if the emergency itself does not seem to affect the water heater, it is advisable to switch it off anyway, because the reserve water can cause the accumulation of heat in the heater. Too much heat can even make it explode. If you have a gas water heater, you will need to turn off the gas before doing anything else. If you have an electric water heater, simply turn off the controls. Once again, it’s a good idea to know how to do these things before an emergency occurs, so don’t waste your precious time.
Erase the water lines
Even if you turn off the main water, the water will still be in the pipes and could cause problems in your home. Go outside and turn on your garden hoses to empty the hoses. If the clogs prevent the water from draining, you can gently use a plunger, but do not introduce chemicals into the drains before the plumber arrives. This could cause damage to your pipes.
