Shut-off valves don’t last forever. Depending on their material, usage, and location, they may need to be replaced every 10 to 20 years—or sooner if they show signs of failure.
Here are some common reasons you might need to replace a shut-off valve:
- Leaking or dripping around the valve
- Inability to fully shut off water
- Rust, corrosion, or mineral buildup
- Water damage or mold near plumbing fixtures
- Valve feels stuck or breaks during use
If you're remodeling a kitchen or bathroom or upgrading appliances, it’s also a good time to replace old valves to ensure everything is up to code and functioning safely.

Why Shut-Off Valves Matter in Emergencies
Every second counts during a plumbing emergency. If a pipe bursts or a fixture starts leaking uncontrollably, knowing how and where to shut off the water can save thousands of dollars in repair costs. The problem is, many homeowners don’t know where their shut-off valves are—or worse, the valves aren’t working properly when they need them most.
That’s why we offer valve inspections as part of our plumbing maintenance services. We’ll help you locate all critical shut-off points in your home, test their functionality, and replace any that aren’t reliable. We can even label them clearly for future reference, so you’re never caught off guard.
