🔧 1. Shut Off the Main Water Supply
Locate the main water valve (usually near your meter or inside the bathroom).
Turn it clockwise to stop water flow.
This prevents further flooding or damage.
🪣 2. Contain the Water
Use buckets, towels, or old clothes to soak or catch the leaking water.
Place plastic sheets or trays under the leak (especially under ceilings or pipes) to protect floors and furniture.
🧰 3. Use Temporary Seals or Fixes
If you have access to tools or materials:
Plumber’s tape (Teflon tape) – Wrap around pipe threads if leak is from a joint.
Rubber patch and clamp – Use a piece of rubber (from gloves or hose) and tie it with zip ties or a clamp.
Epoxy putty or silicone sealant – Useful for minor cracks or pipe leaks.
Tip: These can be bought from your local hardware store near Radhe Radhe, Bhaktapur the next morning for a permanent fix.
📸 4. Take Photos
Capture the damage for reference, especially if you'll need help from a plumber or for insurance claims.
📞 5. Call a Plumber for the Next Morning
Search for a local plumber or hardware store number.
Schedule a visit for early morning.
Some Bhaktapur plumbers may offer emergency support—ask politely if it’s urgent.
