Bill Rice from Utah Property Solutions offers a key homeowner tip: know where your main water shutoff valve is before an emergency happens. Here’s what to know: The main shutoff is typically located at the front of your home, on the side closest to the street—this is where the main water line enters the house. If you have a leak that can’t be stopped with local supply valves (like under a sink or behind a toilet), this is where you go. Also nearby is usually a sprinkler shutoff; go ahead and turn that off too in an emergency. Get familiar with this location as soon as you move in, so you’re not scrambling to find it during a water crisis. Knowing where to shut off water can prevent major damage and save you a lot of hassle.
