Pinecrest homeowners: if your home was built after 1991, your main water shut-off may not work when you need it. 🔧
This valve stops ALL the water coming into your house. If a pipe bursts or your water heater starts leaking, it’s what saves your floors, cabinets and walls.
Here we’re replacing an old one outside the home. We cut out the old valve, cleaned the pipe back to solid copper, and installed the new one with press fittings: a watertight seal in seconds, no torch next to the house.
Quick check you can do today:
âś… Find your main shut-off (outside, where the water line comes into the house)
✅ Make sure you can reach it and it’s not buried or overgrown
✅ Try turning it. If it’s stuck or leaks, it’s time to replace it
