On Monday we had the biggest scare ever. A pipe in the bathroom gave way causing the water to burst out. To stop that we shut the stop cork. Apparently, it only made it worse as suddenly it was raining from the ceiling. Water was coming down from the ceiling all over the place, the bathroom, the third room and the family hall. The house was getting flooded! For a moment we were at a lost, not knowing what to do. My worse fear was that the water tank had given way. Then I thought of shutting down the water pump. That slowed down the flow a lot but it was still coming down. Then I shut the incoming flow from the meter. That had the effect of stopping water coming into the tank. Water continued to come down until the water tank emptied itself.
Meantime, I brave myself to climb up the ceiling to have a look. Alhamdulillah, the water tank was intact. Water was actually flowing from a pipe that had burst. Needless to say, the house was in a mess including the plaster ceiling. The rest of Monday and the whole of Tuesday was spent to repair the piping and clear the mess. Alhamdulillah, everything is okay now!
