Knowing where your shut-off valves are can save you thousands in water damage during an emergency.

Here are the 3 most common types:

• Gate Valve – Typically found at the main water line where it enters your home (often outside near the meter or inside near the water heater). These turn by twisting and may take several turns to fully shut off.

• Ball Valve – Also usually located at the main water supply. These have a simple lever handle—turn it 90 degrees for a quick shut-off. These are the most reliable in emergencies.

• Angle Stop Valve – Commonly located near your water meter. These are smaller valves that you turn clockwise to shut off the water and counterclockwise to turn it back on.

Take a few minutes today to locate and test your shut-offs—before you actually need them.
