Your water shutoff card

HOME PLUMBING CARE KIT · 01

Fill it in together. Keep a copy on the fridge.

Get familiar before a leak

Ask your plumber or property manager to identify the home's own main water shutoff and show you how it works. Label it and keep access clear.
Find the individual water valves at toilets, sinks and appliances. A stuck, corroded or unfamiliar valve needs professional attention; never force it.

If water starts escaping

Keep people and pets clear. Do not enter standing water near electricity, touch wet electrical equipment or go beneath a sagging ceiling.
If access is safe and you know the valve, close the affected fixture's water valve or the home's main water shutoff. Leave utility-owned street valves to the utility.
Call for help. Renters should also notify the property manager. For sewage, stop using water and keep clear of the affected area.

Suspect a gas leak? Leave immediately. Avoid switches, flames and phones in the area. From a safe location, call your gas utility; call 911 for immediate danger. Do not search for or repair the leak.
