How to turn off the water to your home. Good to know in an emergency.

 Most people never think about their water system until there is a problem. It is good to know how to turn off your water system in case of an emergency.

 Many times we get calls from panic stricken customers who's homes are flooding and they cant make it stop.

 For most residential water systems in Florida.

1- Locate the incoming shut off valve where the water enters the home.

 These valves (in most cases) would be located outside of the home above or below ground or inside the garage on a loop. If you are unable to locate your valve a Licensed Plumber would be able to locate it for you.

2. Water meter shut off valve or corporation stop. In most cases the only the water department or a licensed Plumber are supposed to operate, check with your local utility department.


Most homes in our area do not have the homeowner shut off by the meter because it is not required by Florida building code Plumbing.

 Locating and verifying that these valves are functional can save you time and money down the road.

  2. You said it right because firstly, I also did not know about that where the water line comes in my house when the water pipe leaks and i had an emergency call with my known plumber, thankfully, that time he is at his home and I got the urgent service. But, as you write in your blog that is also useful thought to know about the plumbing if there is not in emergency, so, i also wouold like to join a plumbing course, and if you have any suggestion about it, then please tell me.

  3. Sewer damage can be a nightmare. They can wake you up at night and give off unpleasant odors that can be unhealthy. Whether you're sure or not, any suspected sewer pipe damage requires immediate repair. This weakens the foundation of the home, which can cause further problems. If your home smells strange, call professional sewer and drain cleaning service.
