How We Perform Water Shut-off Valve Services
Ever wondered about the ins and outs of main valve installation, repair, or replacement? How do you tackle plumbing tasks on the very component that facilitates large-scale plumbing operations?
When it comes to servicing water shut-off valves, our skilled plumbing team initiates the process by shutting off the exterior shut-off point or the well pump. Subsequently, we drain the pipes to prevent any water damage. Finally, employing appropriate tools, we carry out repairs or replacements efficiently and with top-notch quality.
In most households, you'll find two points for turning off the water supply: a water shut-off valve and an exterior shut-off point. If your home is connected to your city's water system, there will be a shut-off valve at the connection to the municipal line. For those with wells, there should be a method to deactivate the well pump.
FAQ: Emergency Shut-off Valve Location
Find Your Home's Water Shut-off Valve
Locating the emergency water shut-off valve in your home can be crucial. Check these common areas for its presence:

Basement or Utility Room
Look along the walls of your basement or utility room near the point where the main water pipe connects to your house. The valve might be a round wheel or lever style.

In some homes, the emergency shut-off valve is inside the water meter box located at the front or side of the house.

Occasionally, you may find the shut-off valve near an outdoor faucet for swift access during emergencies; usually fixed on an outer wall of your residence.
