\nStep 1<\/strong>
\nTurn off the water at your water meter. If you don\u2019t know how to do this, watch this video<\/a> to guide you through it.<\/p>\n
\nCall your plumber!<\/a> No Doubt Plumbing offers a 24 hour service emergency plumbing in Melbourne and Geelong.<\/p>\n
\nEnsure that any hazards caused by the issue are minimised to yourself and your family. For example keep children away from raw sewerage!<\/p>\n
\nCall your home insurance company to notify them of the issue and check your coverage for emergency plumbing.<\/p>\n
\nPut some gloves on and begin working on the cleanup. You should make sure that any and all electrical appliances within the area have been turned off before you begin cleaning up to avoid any accidents.<\/p>\n
\nTake an inventory of any furniture and household items that are effected by the water. Water damage can be in insidious issue – showing up at a later date so be careful to take note of any furniture that has been saturated, along with any walls that may have had their integrity compromised by potential water damage.<\/p>\n
\nOnce the job is complete, test your electrical appliances one at a time to make sure that they all work and that you do not need to add anything to your insurance claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
