If a pipe busts in your house, you should be able to shut your water off in less than 30 seconds.
Why it matters: We know how destructive water can be and the less water you have to deal with the better.
- When water soaks into certain building materials â like insulation or carpet pad â it may not dry on its own.
- Remember â If it canât dry, itâs gonna die!
đ What to do next: Locate your shut off valve and make sure you and everyone in your household know how to access it.
- Donât rely on the valve at the water meter.
- You need a conveniently located quarter turn valve, so you can turn the water off quickly.
