In an emergency, such as a burst pipe or major leak, every second counts. Turning off your main water valve quickly can prevent costly damage to your home.

Water shut-off valve


Check it today:

  • Locate your main shut-off valve (usually near where the water line enters your home).

  • Make sure it turns freely if it's stuck; have it serviced.

  • Show it to all family members in your household so everyone knows what to do if water starts pouring in.

  • Bonus Pro Insight: Once a year, give the valve a little turn (on and off) to ensure it doesn’t seize up over time.
