Locate your main valve. Turn it clockwise until it stops. This kills pressure to the entire house.
If water is near outlets or lights, go to your breaker panel and flip the switch for that room.

Temporary DIY Fixes While You Wait
While waiting for professional assistance, you can minimize damage with these temporary measures:
- Heavy-Duty Repair Tape: Use silicone rescue tape for pinhole leaks. Wrap it tightly around the pipe, overlapping by 50%.
- Hydraulic Cement: For active leaks in concrete walls or foundations, apply rapid-set hydraulic cement which expands as it cures.
- Pipe Clamps: A rubber patch and a C-clamp can sometimes hold back a small leak on a straight section of pipe.
