As homeowners, knowing the location of your main water shut off valve is of the utmost importance. Busted ruptured pipes, leaking water heaters, and dripping hoses are all issues that can cause problems in your home. Shutting off your main water shut off valve as soon as one of these issues arise can lessen the water damage to your home and save you a considerable amount of money.
We suggest you show and teach each member of your household that can reach and turn the main water shut off valve, how to turn it off in an emergency.
You can locate your main water shut off valve by looking for a valve that is facing your street. If you have a basement, your main water shut off valve will most likely be in a corner facing the street. Do you have a crawl space? Your main water shut off valve may be in the crawl space or the room with the furnace and water heater. Is your house on a slab?
