Do not wait to identify which pipe is leaking. The fastest way to stop the flooding is the main shutoff, not the search for a local valve. For homes on private wells, close the pressure tank shutoff. After closing the main water supply, open the lowest fixture in the house, typically a ground-floor or basement faucet or hose bib if accessible, to drain the pressure remaining in the supply lines and reduce the volume of water still flowing from the burst.

Turn off the water heater. If the water heater is electric, switch it off at the breaker. If it is gas, set it to the pilot position. Running a water heater without water in the tank can damage the unit. Document the damage with photographs before any cleanup begins. This documentation is essential for homeowner's insurance claims. Begin removing standing water if you can do so safely. Water that remains on floors and against walls for extended periods causes mold growth that compounds the damage beyond the original plumbing repair.
