The first thing that any homeowner or unit owner should know is how to isolate your water supply in case of an emergency.

Burst flexi hoses or pipes can cause thousand’s of dollars of damage in minutes, unfortunately, sometimes it is unavoidable due to things such as high water pressure, damaged hoses, no isolation valves under taps and many more reasons.
