Shut off the water supply at the main shut-off valve at the street. Then beginning with those on the top floor, open all faucets and leave them open. If available, open the cap on the main shut off valve drain the remaining water. Remember to reinstall this cap when complete. Shut off and drain all hot water tanks. Make sure all horizontal pipes drain properly. Air pressure will get rid of trapped water in these pipes, but occasionally the piping may have to be disconnected and drained. To be safe have your plumber check your entire plumbing system.
Oregon law requires anyone who works for compensation in any construction activity involving improvements to real property to be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. This includes roofing, siding, painting, carpentry, concrete, on-site appliance repair, heating and air conditioning, home inspections, tree service, plumbing, electrical, floor covering, manufactured dwelling installation, land development, and most other construction and repair services. To confirm that your contractor is licensed you may check at the Construction Contractors Board website.
If you find a leak in your plumbing system shut off the water supply and call your plumber at once. Water supply systems are under high pressure. Leaks must have immediate attention. They can progress into a serious catastrophic failure, property damage and a safety hazard - all very quickly.
First, turn off the water at the valve under the toilet. If it's a case of too much paper or other matter causing a stoppage, a plunger should work. If the toilet is not operating because the sewer is stopped up, a homeowner can help prevent overflowing by opening their sewer clean-out (located outside the building) to relieve the pressure on the system. Then call your plumber or a drain-cleaning company. Your toilet is not a garbage disposal. Just because a product is called disposable doesn't mean it should be flushed down the toilet.
For safety reasons, keep the temperature dial setting at or below the suggested Factory Setting listed on the water heater or in the manual. Above that setting will greatly increase the potential for scalding. Any questions please call the manufacturer or your plumber. All water heaters are required by law to be equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve (t & p valve) as a safety feature to prevent damage from excessive pressure (>150 psi) or temperature (>210F). If the t & p valve is discharging water you should call your plumber immediately.
If you suspect you have a plumbing leak in your crawlspace, You should determine if the source is the water supply system or a drain. If the leak is in the water supply system - shut off the water to the house immediately. If it is a drain, stop using the fixture(s) connected to the drain - shut off the water to the fixture(s). Call your plumber immediately in either case. Due to health and safety reasons you may need to also call a specialty pumping or remediation service.
