Automatic Shutoff Valve Services in Chapel Hill, NC

Do you know where the shutoff valve for your water is? If not, you should. The shutoff valve controls the flow of water to your home. It is used to turn off the water during installations, repairs, and, perhaps most importantly, during emergencies. Anytime you have a massive leak, burst pipe, overflowing toilet, or any other kind of emergency, that valve needs to be used to shut off the water and limit the damage. There are a couple of problems with using the standard water shutoff valve, though.  You can also opt for an automatic shutoff value.

WHY YOU NEED AN AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE

There are two huge problems with standard manual shutoff valves. First, most homeowners don’t even know where their shutoff valve is. This is more than a little problematic when they can’t shut off their water during an emergency. Thousands of dollars–worth of water damage could be done to your home while you’re scrambling to find the shutoff valve.

Second, there is a not–insignificant chance that you won’t be home when a plumbing emergency occurs. Even if you know exactly where your water shutoff valve is, that won’t be much use if your home floods while you’re away. This is why it’s so important to have an automatic shutoff valve installed in your home.

HOW AN AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE WORKS

An automatic shutoff valve monitors the pressure of the water in your plumbing system at all times. If that pressure drops in a way that indicates a serious issue, like a leak or rupture, the valve will automatically cut off all water flowing into the home. You don’t have to do anything to address the issue, the valve will take care of it for you.

This eliminates the two most significant threats to your home in terms of water valve issues. With an automatic shutoff valve, you don’t have to worry about finding and shutting the valve yourself. You can also have peace of mind when you’re out and about. Even if a plumbing emergency occurs while you’re not home, the valve will prevent any serious damage from occurring. You just need to get the problem repaired, and the valve reset.
