Many times there will be a main water line from the street which you can use a Water Meter Key to shut off your water. Then as the water line enters your home, there is typically a water shut off valve for your home-water-supply and your sprinkler system. You want to know which is which to shut the water off.
- Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular inspections and maintenance of your plumbing system to catch issues before they become emergencies.
