Worth acting on soon

What should I do about a burst or actively leaking pipe?
What’s likely going on
A pipe that's actively spraying or steadily leaking water is doing real damage to your home by the minute — flooring, drywall, and subflooring absorb water fast, and mold risk starts within a day or two of standing moisture.
What we’d suggest
Shutting off your home's main water valve immediately limits the damage — it's worth knowing where that valve is before you ever need it. This isn't a wait-and-see situation; a burst or actively leaking pipe needs someone out quickly, not on the next available day.
