My water heater burst — what do I do first?

Close the cold-water inlet valve on top of the tank, then shut off the tank's power (breaker) or gas valve. A ruptured 50-gallon tank keeps refilling and leaking until the inlet is closed. Once the water stops, photograph the tank and the water path before any cleanup begins.

Does insurance cover appliance leak damage?

The water damage caused by a sudden appliance failure is typically covered; the appliance itself usually is not. Insurers distinguish sudden failures (covered) from slow leaks that existed for weeks (often denied as neglect). This is why same-day professional drying and photos of the failed part matter — they establish the sudden-event timeline.
