Water Is Leaking From My Upstairs Bathtub
If you lived to be older than 30 years old, there's a
good chance that at one point of your life, you had water leaking from
your upstairs bathtub. The biggest problem with something like this, is
what to do about it with out panicking.
If the water is leaking and you can't seem to locate the water leak, you
could find yourself in some serious trouble. You shouldn't spend your
time looking for the water leak, but instead you should start searching
for the main water supply shut off valve to the home.
If you don't know where it's located, your upstairs bathtub water leak
is now turning into a water damage nightmare. There are things that you
can do to avoid this situation, but panicking isn't going to be one of
them. If you don't want to find yourself in this situation ever again,
you need to understand how your water supply system operates and where
the water shut off valve actually is.
A bathtub water leak isn't the same as a kitchen sink or toilet water
leak. Most toilets and sinks have water supply shut off valves located
under them. If you can't turn these water supply valves off, we're back
to square one. You need to know where the main water supply shut off
valve is located and how to turn it off.
One of the best things that you can do for your family is to show them
how to shut off the water, gas and electricity safely to your home. If
your children are too young to understand any of this, there probably
going to be too young to stay at home by themselves. Make sure that the
babysitter understands how to deal with home emergencies like these.
