Request a plumberStop the water
Close the main valve in the basement. If you can't find it or it won't turn, the water utility can shut it off at the curb stop. Our shut-off guide shows what the valves look like.
Stay safe around basement water
Water on a basement floor can reach furnaces, outlets and extension cords. Don't wade in if anything electrical might be under water.
Urgent or not?
Urgent: active leaks, no water, no heat with pipes at risk, sewage backing up, a sump pump that has stopped during heavy rain. Not urgent: a slow drip, one slow drain, a noisy water heater.
Spring thaw and storms
March and April melt plus heavy summer storms keep sump pumps busy. A pump that fails at the wrong moment can flood a basement in hours. See sump pumps.
What helps the plumber
Say whether the main is off, where the water is coming from, whether the furnace or water heater got wet and how to get into the house.
After the emergency
Take photos for your insurer before cleaning up, and keep the plumber's invoice. Wet drywall and carpet should come out or be dried quickly to avoid mold.
