My parents are about two hours away just about 20 minutes ago I found a leak in the basement. I couldn't reach them on their cells and i don't know what to do.
It is coming out through some wood on the ceiling (basement is unfinished). I look above it and the water was coming through a hole drilled to carry the internet connection. There is a copper pipe, and a larger silver metalic pipe near by.
We also have a minor leak in the foundation and it is leaking waaaaaaaaay more water than usual. It is below roughly where the wall is between the kitchen and office. There is a bathroom on the second storey that is not directly over but closish. I checked all water type sources and have not seen anything. what should i do, i would turn off the water but i dont know how.
I'm still waiting for a response from my parents and dont want t o call a plumber alone. It is leaking like one drop everythree seconds.
Ideas anyone? Please HELP!
