How do I maintain my new shutoff valves?
The best way to maintain a shutoff valve is to "exercise" it twice a year. Simply turn the valve off and then back on again to ensure the internal components stay clear of mineral deposits and that the handle moves freely when you need it.
Why is professional shutoff valve installation better than DIY?
Replacing a main shutoff valve requires shutting off the water at the street and cutting into your main service line. A licensed plumber ensures the new valve is installed safely, prevents leaks that could occur behind walls, and ensures the work meets local building codes.
Is the installation process messy?
We strive to keep our work extremely clean. By using professional containment tools and draining the lines properly before removal, we ensure that the replacement of your valves is handled with minimal moisture and a dedicated cleanup phase.
How does a new shutoff valve provide value?
Modern ball valves provide immense value by preventing catastrophic water damage during a leak. They also make future plumbing repairs much easier and more affordable, as you can isolate specific areas of the home without losing water to the entire house.
What logistics are involved in replacing a main valve?
The process involves a brief, coordinated water shut-off for the entire property while the main valve is replaced. Our team manages the logistics of this transition quickly to ensure your home’s water service is restored with minimal interruption.
