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.
