I had a customer call me on Monday morning to tell me that he had flooded his house because of what he thought would be a simple plumbing repair. While attempting to fix a leaking faucet for his Jacuzzi tub, the customer realized that he needed to shut the water off to the house first before attempting to make the needed repair. Unfortunately, he found this out after taking the faucet apart. By the time that he got the water shut off to the house, the 2nd floor and part of the 1st floor of the house had flooded.

Lesson learned:  Always turn the water off to a plumbing fixture before attempting any type of repair.
