  • Locate your main water shut-off BEFORE you need it in an emergency situation. This can be especially useful during cold weather since in-home plumbing can freeze and burst pipes.

    Crazy to find this valve . I had a broken pipe and I cut the water supply by the curb. I have the right tool. I did not even waste time looking for that valve as I would have lost precious minutes. Now I know where it is......and I am surprised it is in the attic. I had lots of suggestions from people but was told it would not be in the attic as it is against code. That guy is not a plumber !!!!!! My water heater is in the attic, next to my HVAC.

      You could try turning one closed and see what gets turned off.

    In order to find the water line, you first have to locate the water line.

      Another trick to find your water shut off valve's location in your house is to first find your water meter lid in your yard. Then, follow the line straight from that water meter to your house. That should be where the water enters your house. It's not always the shortest line possible, but it will provide you a starting point. Then, you can start the search inside your home from that point.

    Turn to Jesus people he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved God bless you all. If you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live life with him as your example../.

      Good point! Different buildings and homes will have a different setup for their main water shutoff. We provided just two examples that were available for us to film.

      It wasn’t a waste at all…It’s obviously no guarantee that every single home is the same, but it gives me ideas on where to look for the likely source of my water supply cut-off valve.

    • @darrylcote3971

      All new homes have it located always close to the main water tank. With older homes sometimes it leaves you guessing but just follow the pipe often times to another room it will be there somewhere. I've had rental properties I purchased with water shutoffs in the adjoined building so there's no standard where it will be.
