Emergency Water Valve Shut Off Services in Portland

Where Is Your Main Water Shut Off Valve?

Before a leaking pipe leads to a flooded basement, ensure you have a main water shut off valve to control the flow of water into your building. Water main shut off valves, sometimes called emergency water shut off valves, cut off water flow to an entire home in the event of a plumbing catastrophe. If you need major plumbing work done, closing the water shut off valve allows the plumber to do their work without worrying about causing water damage. In an event of a pipe burst or flooding, it’s important to know how to shut off water to the house.

When it’s time for whole-building plumbing maintenance, you need a working water main shut off valve to ensure repairs don’t make a mess. But, just like any plumbing fixture, shut off valves can break or deteriorate. Mr. Rooter® Plumbing has years of expertise, so we can install or repair your new water main shut off and save you a big mess the next time you notice a leak.

  • If you already have a way to turn off the water to your whole building, it may become damaged or wear out over time. When possible, our service professionals can repair broken valves and replace broken parts. However, most times faulty valves need to be fully replaced.

    1. Leaking shut off valve. Your shut off valve should not leak or drip. If you notice your shut off valve leaking, our professional plumbers can tighten it without damaging your seal, which can happen if it’s over-tightened. We’ll also repair any other breaks or cracks that may cause problems.
    2. Cracked or missing water shut off valve cover. If your valve is outside, a broken cover can mean even more damage to the system.
    3. Valve that doesn’t control water flow. If your valve handle spins, but the water doesn’t shut off or doesn’t stop completely, the mechanism may need replacing.
    4. Stuck valve. Some valve handles get stuck due to age or rust. Our service professionals will get your valve opening and closing again.

How We Perform Water Shut Off Services

You may find yourself wondering how main valve installation, repair, or replacement is done. After all, how do you perform plumbing work on the object responsible for making large-scale plumbing work possible?

To perform water shut off valve services, our plumbing team will first close the exterior shut off point or well pump. Next, we'll drain the pipes to prevent water damage from occurring. Finally, we'll carry out the replacement or repair using the proper tools to ensure a timely and high-quality service.

Most homes have two points where the water supply can be switched off: a water shut off valve and an exterior shut off point. If your home runs on your city's water supply, there will be a shut off valve where your pipes meet the municipal supply line. For those who have a well, there should be a mechanism to turn off the well pump instead.
