The discovery of a leaking pipe in your home is never pleasant, and this is because you likely are well aware of the damage that this type of repair issue can cause. With a leaking pipe, water will continue to drip or even gush out of the pipe until the damaged area has been repaired. This means that surfaces like your drywall, carpeting, cabinetry, furnishings and more may become moist or even saturated with water. When the areas remain moist for more than a day or two, there is an increased likelihood that mold growth will also develop and cause additional damage. In addition, you may experience the added cost of an inflated water bill due to wasted water until the leaking pipe is repaired.

The Most Important Step to Take
When you discover a leaking pipe in your home, the most important step that you should take immediately is to stop the flow of water. This is most quickly and easily done by turning off the water supply to the area. Depending on the location of the leak, you may be able to turn one of the supply valves in your home to the office position. For example, if the leaking pipe is located directly under a sink, there is usually a supply valve under the sink that will shut off the water to this localized area. The other option is to shut off the water supply to the entire home. By doing so, you will shut off access to water that may be used for bathing, cooking, cleaning, flushing the toilet and more. The water supply should remain off until the leaking pipe is repaired, so the next step to take is to repair the pipe.

The fact is that a leaking pipe could result in the need for plumbing repairs, but it also could result in the need to replace drywall, furnishings and more in your home. The best way to repair a leaky pipe is to utilize a method that is fast and reliable.

With a slow leak inside a cabinet, simply placing a bucket beneath the drip may be sufficient. However, with most types of leaks, you may need to turn off the main source of water to the home.
