Before a leaking pipe floods your basement, it's crucial to have a working main water shut off valve to control water flow. A water main shut off valve, also known as an emergency water shut off valve, allows you to halt water supply to your entire home in case of a plumbing crisis. It’s vital to be able to know how to shut off water to your house. This valve is essential for managing extensive plumbing work, ensuring that no water damage occurs during repairs.
This valve may even be required. In cities like Longview and Kelso, the city requires that they turn water off at a meter. This makes it even more important to have a shut off valve on the side of your house
Regular maintenance of your main water shut off valve is important for whole-building plumbing tasks. Over time, these valves can deteriorate or fail.
