1. Shut off the main water valve. It is usually where the supply line enters the house, in the garage, a crawlspace, or on an outside wall near the front hose bib. Turn the handle clockwise until it stops.
2. Close the fixture stops. If only one toilet, sink, or appliance is leaking, turn the small valve behind or beneath it clockwise so the rest of the house keeps water.
3. Close the cold supply to the water heater. If the leak is at the water heater, shut the valve on the cold water line at the top of the tank.
4. Keep electricity away from water. Do not touch outlets, cords, or appliances while standing in water. If water is near the electrical panel or outlets, stay out of the area until power to it is off.
5. If you smell gas, leave. Get everyone outside, do not switch lights or appliances on or off, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside the home.

If sewage is backing up in Pacifica, the city asks residents to call the city first, because city crews check whether the blockage is in the public main. Once the water is off and everyone is safe, call Works Plumbing and a licensed plumber will come out the same day to find the cause and make the repair.
