- Water spreading? Close the main shutoff valve, usually where the water line enters the house.
- Only one fixture? Try the small shutoff valve under that sink or behind that toilet.
- Is the drain slow in one spot or everywhere? Everywhere often points to the main line.
- Water near outlets or the panel? Stay clear and switch off that breaker only if it is dry where you stand.
