When a plumbing emergency occurs, the first minutes determine damage scope. Shut off the relevant water supply at the mains or isolation valve. Move valuables from affected areas. Document the situation with photographs for insurance purposes.
Do not attempt repairs on pressurised systems without training. Gas-related concerns require immediate evacuation and professional response.
