Common Water Leak Scenarios
Shut Off the Water
Find your main water shutoff valve and turn it off immediately. This stops the leak from causing more damage while you arrange repair.
Identify the Source
Is the leak at a fixture (faucet, toilet), behind a wall (wet drywall, bubbling paint), or under the slab (warm floor spots)? The source determines who to call.
Document for Insurance
Take photos and video of all water damage BEFORE cleanup. Your insurance adjuster needs before-and-after documentation to process a claim.
Start Drying
Use towels, fans, and a dehumidifier to start drying affected areas. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours in wet conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my main water shutoff valve?
In most Florence homes, the main shutoff is inside the house near where the water line enters (often basement, crawl space, or utility closet). Some homes have a secondary shutoff at the street (meter box). Know where yours is BEFORE an emergency.
How much does water leak repair cost in Florence?
Simple fixture leaks: $100-$300. Pipe repair behind walls: $500-$1,500 (includes drywall access and patching). Slab leaks: $2,000-$6,000. Water line replacement: $1,500-$5,000. Costs increase significantly if water damage restoration is needed.
Does insurance cover water leak damage in SC?
Most policies in SC cover sudden water damage (burst pipe, appliance failure). Gradual leaks (slow pipe corrosion, long-term seepage) are typically excluded. The repair itself (fixing the pipe) is often not covered — just the resulting damage.
How do I find a hidden water leak?
Signs of a hidden leak: rising water bill, water meter spinning with all fixtures off, musty smell, mold or mildew, warm spots on floors (slab leak), or stains on walls/ceilings. Plumbers in Florence use electronic leak detection to pinpoint hidden leaks without demolition.
