One of the most main causes of water damage here in Orange County are slab leaks. Slab leaks are when your copper pipes will break inside the slab. They’re usually caused by fluctuation of the water pressure, the chemicals that the city kindly supplies to improve your water quality and the shifting of the soil or the concrete itself will shift and open move in crack and it’ll crack pipe.
Other sources of water damage from emergency plumbing are broken pipe in the walls, very common, broken supply lines like a toilet, the toilet tank or sink, even toilet tanks break sometimes, or a failing water heater. And there’s many other ones but those are the main causes of water damage.
Whenever you have a water damage situation, you’re going to need to know where to shut the water off. And usually in homes you can find water damage shutoff valves in front of the house, front door, left or right, on the side of the house, inside the garage or at the curb side.
There’ll be a metal door, or concrete little lid that you need to take off and shut off the water. That is actually the best place to shut the water off at the city shutoff valve. You have to make sure that all the water’s turned off.
