Hurricane season is almost here, and while we're all busy hunting for batteries and the last pack of bottled water, one critical item often gets overlooked: your main water shut-off valve.
If a pipe bursts or a storm hits, that small handle is your home’s primary defense against indoor flooding. However, because these valves are rarely touched, they have a habit of getting stiff, corroded, or completely stuck. The middle of a storm is a sub-optimal time to discover your shut-off valve has decided to retire.
We recommend locating yours today and giving it a test turn. If it doesn’t budge, or if you’re not sure where it’s hiding, we’re here to help. Our Accucare Maintenance Plan includes a 52-point inspection that covers your main shut-off, ensuring it’s ready for action long before the clouds roll in.
A little preparation now can prevent a lot of cleanup later.
Do you know where your main shut-off is located?
