First steps after a leak in Glen Burnie
Glen Burnie lies 23 miles northeast of Silver Spring, and its homes are older than Anne Arundel County's: 62% were built before 1980, against 45% countywide. In a house that age, close the main shutoff in the basement or utility room first, and if it sticks, close the valve at the fixture or water heater. After that, cut the breakers for every wet room. NOAA climate normals count 93 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, so a winter leak may be a frozen pipe that should stay closed until a plumber fixes it. Photograph the source, the wet areas and your damaged belongings. Move rugs, boxes and electronics out of the water so water removal can start.
