What to Do If a Pipe Bursts at Night

A pipe that bursts overnight can dump a large amount of water before morning. The first step is to shut off the main water line if you can do so safely. After that, move valuables away from standing water and avoid any area where water may have reached electrical outlets or fixtures. Document the visible damage and call for emergency pipe repair. If the leak is above a ceiling or inside a wall, do not assume it has stopped just because the visible drip slows down. Water often continues to travel behind surfaces.
