Where Are Shut-Off Valves Located?
Your home has multiple shut-off valves. Generally, shut-off valves are near major appliances and fixtures, usually in your bathroom and kitchen. Typically, you’ll find shut-off valves next to:
- Toilets
- Sinks
- Water Heaters and Tankless Water Heaters
- Washing Machines
- Main Water Supply Meter
Gas appliances also have shut-off valves. If you need gas shut-off valve repair services in Sacramento, call Gilmore immediately.
Keep Your Plumbing System Safe & Reliable
Cleanup and repairs can be more difficult if a plumbing emergency arises when your shut-off valve is broken. If you see leaks coming from the shut-off valve, rust or corrosion, or visible damage, your valve might be at a higher risk of breaking.
You should test all of the shut-off valves in your home at least once a year. If your home is older, you may want to test them every six months or so.
If you notice any problems with your shut-off valves, call Gilmore for help. We’ll inspect the unit to figure out the problem. Some of the most common problems with shut-off valves are:
- Leaks From Buildup
- Broken Valve and Knob
- Dripping from Worn Washers
- Cracks and Rust
No matter the issue, we’ll make sure that your shut-off valves are there to support you. Nothing is worse than trying to use one during an emergency only to find that it doesn’t work. Instead, call Gilmore for water shut-off valve repair services in Sacramento, Antelope, and Placerville.
