Call BP.
Seriously, you might try turning off the water to the plumbing fixtures in the bathroom unless you are immediately using them. All depends on where the leak is. |

Is the leak in the bathroom visible? Or can you only notice water coming through the basement ceiling? Does that bathroom wet wall share a wall with another room/unit where the water may be visible? Besides turning off the water at the main... your best bet is to find the leak...

Turn off the water in the bathroom, that probably won't work if the leak is in the floor. Turn the water off at the main valve until tomorrow. I'd guess the line is broken in the floor.

If the water is leaking from a hot water line, you can shut off water at the water heater.. otherwise for cold, you likely have to go to the main... http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/homemaintenance/plumbing/general/watermain.php The other option is that the leak is from a drain pipe... in that case, just avoid using that bathroom or anything that would be "upstream" from it. |

It's leaking from another location in the same wet spot. I don't know how to shut the water off from the bathroom, should I go ahead and shut the whole system off? Not that I have to pay for this, but is this an expensive fix?
Apparently the light fixture that was on it fell off Sunday and my girlfriend heard something from that area 3-4 days ago but never told me until tonight. Edit: Didn't see Iowanians post. Guess I'll shut it off from outside. |

It's most likely a failed wax ring on the toilet or perhaps a vent boot on the roof. Probably not a huge deal in the grand scheme. You don't have to turn anything off. Just stop flushing the toilet until the landlord can get a look.

Try pissing IN the toilet instead of all over it.

I'm surprised, disappointed really, no one has suggested you TASTE the leaky water to determine if it is waste or fresh water.

That's what my father said. The wallboard fell when I checked this morning. The water was turned off overnight and it will take two weeks before a plumber can come fix it. I turned the water back on and am waiting for the leak to start again. Nothing yet, been probably 20 minutes. |
