The first thing that you should look for is the main shut-off valve. This is the valve that supplies the entire water system in your premises. In most cases, there are two main shut-offs. One connected with the building plumbing system and other one attached to the water meter. Locating each of the two requires different approaches.

Leave the rest to the experts. Call a fully insured and licensed plumber, explain the situation and wait for them to offer any further instructions before their arrival.

In the event you have an emergency issue including leaks or burst pipes, be sure to take the time to know where your main shut off valves are located.
