Turning Off the Water

Depending on the situation, one of the first suggestions we will probably give is to shut off the water supply to prevent further damage. We can help you locate the water shut-off valve so you can turn it off to stop the flow of water into the unit. This can be an important step to avoid flooding and water damage to your home.

Electrical Precautions

For safety reasons, you may need to cut off the electricity supply to your water heater. We can walk you through the steps of finding the breaker that controls your water heater and switching it off. If the situation requires it, this will prevent electrical hazards while you wait for our professional assistance.

Gas Safety Measures

If your water heater is gas-powered, we may direct you to turn off the gas supply to prevent potential gas leaks or fire hazards. We’ll help you locate the gas shut-off valve so you can carefully shut it off. Safety should always be a top priority.
