Water's leaking, panic's rising, and the plumber is still 15-20 minutes away. Here's what actually helps while you wait:
1. Shut off the main water valve
Almost every apartment has a main shutoff — usually under the kitchen sink, in a storage room, or by the water meter in the building hallway.
2. Cut power to that part of the apartment
If water is heading toward outlets or switches, cut the power there. Water and electricity don't mix.
3. Collect the water, don't try to fix it yourself
Towels, buckets, whatever you have — the goal is to limit damage, not fix the plumbing yourself.
