Where Is Your Water Shut Off?!

Know where your main water shut-off is and keep a shut off tool handy for the street service. A small plumbing issue can happen at any moment. You don't want to be frantically searching during a plumbing emergency. What could easily be a minor clean up job can quickly turn into a full blown flood causing thousands in damage. Most modern homes have an internal shutoff (looks like a garden hose spigot, usually in a closet or utility room). Go find it right now and make sure everyone in the house knows where it is. This is your first line of defense when a water issue strikes. After that, know where your main water meter access point is (the big metal oval at the street) and make sure it is unobstructed and accessible. Make a small investment and get a T-Handle water meter key (Link Below) in case you need to cut water off at the street.
