In an emergency, it’s urgent to know where your shut off valve is and how to shut off water to your house. You'll want a functioning main water shut off valve to ensure that generally minor leak problems don't turn into major flood scenarios. The main shut off valve or an emergency water shut off valve can shut off the water supply to your entire home in case of some plumbing emergency. This valve is also needed when major plumbing repairs need to be done, allowing work without causing water damage.
Proper working order for your shut off valve is a vital piece in plumbing management. The valves may, over time, partially deteriorate or fail. We, at Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of West Portland, are experts at installing and repairing water main shut off valves, so you can be much better prepared to avoid major water damage when those leaks do occur.
