FAQs
If you can't turn a water valve with a wrench, it's best to have a licensed plumber inspect it and provide expert advice. Applying too much force on an old, rusty valve can break it, potentially causing a significant mess if the main water supply hasn't been turned off.
Water shut-off valves typically last around 20 years. If the valve isn't periodically opened and closed, it can "freeze" in the open position before reaching its expected lifespan. If the valve won't turn or has a persistent drip that can't be fixed by tightening the nut, it should be replaced immediately.
