First Steps When a Pipe Bursts
- Close the main shut-off valve immediately
- If you don't know where it is, shut off the water supply at the outdoor meter
- Turn off the power in the affected area as a precaution
- Let the neighbors downstairs and the homeowners' association know
- Call an emergency plumber—don't try to fix it yourself
Why do pipes burst?
- Old, deteriorated pipes that fail under pressure
- Accumulated limescale that narrows the pipe until it bursts
- Pressure spikes in the public water supply system
- Structural movements of the building
- Lead or iron pipes at the end of their service life
