A water shut-off valve is designed to turn off all water to your home. This is important because without one, you wouldn’t be able to turn off your water. This would make plumbing jobs would be much more difficult and even potentially dangerous or harmful.
If you don’t know where your water shut-off valve is in your home, check outside your home near the front wall or near a hose hookup. Many shut off valves are also installed in a meter box near the curb.
Not only should you know where the valve is, but you should also know how to use it. This way, in the case of a plumbing emergency, you’ll be able to shut off the water in your home.
To save yourself a plumbing problem in the future, take the time to learn how to turn off your water!
