How to turn off the water main?

Knowing how to turn off your main water supply is crucial during plumbing emergencies. The location of the main water shut-off valve varies; however, it's usually located near the water meter, inside your home's utility closet or basement, or outside near the property line. The valve is typically a wheel-type valve that turns off by rotating it. If you're unsure of the location, it's best to locate it during non-emergency times to avoid any difficulty when you need to use it.

What constitutes a plumbing emergency?

Plumbing emergencies typically involve situations that cause immediate damage or risk to health and safety. This includes burst pipes, severe flooding, gas leaks, and sewer backups. Any issue that poses a significant risk should be treated as an emergency.
