Plumbing Tips
Locate Your Emergency Shutoff Valves for Quick Action
Whether you are facing an overflowing toilet, a leaky pipe, or even a gas leak, the emergency shutoff valves in your property can save you a lot of money, stress, and headache. It is important to know where your shutoff valves are located so that, in the case of an emergency, you will be able to quickly and safely stem the flow of water or gas into your home.
Don't know where your emergency shut off valve is located? Check these areas around your home or commercial property:
- Check the perimeter of your home, usually around the ground floor
- Check near the water heater or inside of the garage
- Check near the street or where your property is connected to the main water line
If you still can't find the location of your emergency shut off valves, it might be a good idea to take a look at your property inspection report. This report should have all the shut off valves in your property labeled for easy location. Or, you can call our team and we will help you find the emergency shut off valves for you!
Experienced Professionals
Protect Your Home from Fires, Floods & Earthquakes
Southern California is known for its natural disasters. Events like fires and earthquakes can cause damage to your home even if you are not directly struck by these disasters. For example, an earthquake's aftershocks can cause damage to your gas lines. At Rooter & Plumbing Masters, we provide options for remote activation of emergency shutoff valves so you do not have to be home in order to turn these valves off. This is a great option when you are away for travel, or if you have to evacuate your home. Both gas and water valves can be activated remotely.
It is important that you keep an eye on your emergency shutoff valve to keep it functioning properly in an emergency. If you notice rust or corrosion around your shutoff valve, or if you suspect a potential leak, give our team a call so that we can repair your valves as soon as possible. Regular plumbing maintenance can help ensure your emergency shutoff valves are always ready when you need them most.
Common Questions
Emergency Shutoff Valve FAQs
Where is my main water shutoff?
Usually where the water supply enters the building, or near the meter at the street. In older properties it can be in a garage, a crawlspace, or an exterior wall box. It is worth locating and testing it before an emergency rather than during one.
Why will my shutoff valve not turn?
Valves that sit untouched for years seize up, and older gate valves are particularly prone to it. A valve that will not close is the same as having no shutoff at all, which is why replacing a stuck one is usually a small job worth doing early.
Should each fixture have its own valve?
Ideally yes. Individual stops under sinks and behind toilets let you isolate one fixture without shutting off water to the whole property, which turns a household emergency into a contained repair.
How long does it take to replace a valve?
Most straightforward valve replacements are a same-day job. It takes longer if the valve is difficult to access or the surrounding pipe has corroded and needs work as well.
