Whole House Water Shut-Off
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 11:39 am
Hey ya'll,
I can't seem to find a main water shut off for our home, either inside or outside. All of the plumbing fixtures have valves which is great, but I can't find a main. There is a valve next to the water heater but that didn't seem to do anything. I even closed valves at our well and the water just kept running. What am I missing here? I was reading on here that a main can sometimes be located under the home, but before I go crawling around under there... Does anyone know where it is usually located? Obviously it will vary from set-up to set-up, but any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
