The main shut-off is the one valve that stops water to the whole house. If yours is stuck, dripping, or won't close all the way, we replace it with a quarter-turn ball valve you can rely on.
Stuck, dripping, or not closing
Many older homes in Palm Beach County still have a gate valve with a round wheel handle. They sit untouched for years, then seize or leak the first time someone needs them.
Old valve out, ball valve in
We shut the water off at the meter, cut out the old valve, and install a full-port brass ball valve. Then we turn the water back on, check every joint under pressure, and show you how the new handle works.
Before we come out
Water to the whole house is off while the valve is swapped, so plan around it. Most replacements are finished in a single visit.
A gate valve lowers a metal wedge on a threaded stem, which takes several turns and tends to corrode in place. A ball valve closes with a quarter turn of a lever and holds up far better when it sits unused.
Sometimes a leak at the stem can be stopped by tightening or repacking the nut. A valve that is seized or no longer closes fully should be replaced, because it will fail when you need it most.
