WHAT TO DO WITH A BURST PIPE?!
Shut the Water Off
– Immediately turn the water off, leaving the water running can cause more damage to the property.
Open Your Taps
– The reason why pipes burst is due to pressure build-up in the channels and therefore opening it up will release the pressure.

When a pipe bursts, the first thing you should do is stop the water leak from spreading. Start by turning off your water main, which is usually located near your water meter in your front yard. If water has poured into any electrical equipment or power sockets, it is also highly recommended that you cut off your energy.
If it is safe to do so, start turning on your cold taps closest to the water main now that your water and power have been turned off. Then repeat the process with your hot water taps, which will help to discharge any remaining water in your water pipes and reduce the leak.
