Plumbing Tip: How Do I Shut Off the Water to My House?

Depending on when your house was built, the shut off valve could be in any one of a number of places – a crawl space, hallway closet, the garage, etc. Most homes in North Carolina have gate valves as the means to shut off water. Gate valves are very unreliable – don’t bother with one! Triangle Plumbing recommends you shut your home’s water off at the water meter. Next time you are at a home improvement store, pick up a meter key (approx. $10.00). Don’t get intimidated; you’ll find it very easy to use. First, locate the water meter. Often it is in the front yard under an iron oval cover. Once you have the cover open, look towards the front of the meter and you will see where the meter key fits in. Slowly turn the key to shut off the water.

Ditch The Draino

Draino and other over the counter drain openers are very corrosive and only work (if they do at all) on slow drains and on minor problems. What happens when you pour a drain opener into a drain that will not open? The drain cleaner will sit on top of the clog, eating away at your pipe and causing further damage. When the plumber comes over to fix it, he or she will then have to contend with both the original clog, and the added corrosion from the Draino.
