Good to know
Repairs & leaks questions.
Clear general guidance, with the important details confirmed at your home.
Can I text a photo of the leak?
Yes. Text Ethan a clear photo, your neighbourhood and a short description. Photos can help him understand the situation, although some leaks still require an on-site diagnosis.
Should I shut off the water first?
If water is actively escaping and you can safely reach the correct shutoff, turn it off. If you are unsure which valve to use, call Ethan rather than forcing a stuck valve.
