A Few Words About That Main Water Shut-Off Valve

3/3/2021 (Permalink)

“Everybody should know where it is,”  “The sooner you can shut off the water, the less it will cost you down the road.”

Not only should home owners know where the valve is located, they should have it inspected the next time a plumber is on site. If your home has an older gate-style valve, it might be worth the money ($200 to $400) to have it replaced with a more reliable ball valve.

Gate valves are prone to sticking when you need them the most, so it's a good idea to exercise them once a year by rotating them back and forth.
