What do I need to if I have an emergency and need to shut off the water supply to a plumbing fixture?

Look for the valve closest to the fixture. Most fixtures will have an individual shut off located beneath the fixture. It will likely be a chrome valve. Sinks and showers may have two valves, one for hot and one for cold.
How do I shut off the water supply to your house?

Identify the main shut off valve. This is usually a brass valve that has a round handle. In most homes, it is located near the point where the water pipe makes its way into the property - often in the kitchen, downstairs WC, or even the laundry. In warmer areas, this valve may be found outside. In colder climates, it will be inside the home.
How do I get rid of odours and build-up?

Treat your drain with white vinegar, baking soda, and hot water. This can help eliminate odours caused by the build-up of bacteria, grease, and organic residue in your drain. It can also help clean out residue to prevent a future clog.
How to remove clogs?

Use a plunger to clear a clog. Plungers are great for unclogging toilets, but they also work well on clogged sinks and tubs. Fill the sink or tub with enough water to cover the drain and bottom. Press the plunger firmly down over the drain to create a tight seal and give it several quick pumps.
What is plumbing?

Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids.
