Where Is My Water Shut Off In My House? How Do I Shut Off The Water To My House?

Dave Henry with www.wilburhenry.com/ located in York PA discusses how to find the water shut off to your house.
Dave also discusses that it is not uncommon for shut offs in older houses to leak after they are shut off and turned back on. He says just take a wrench and give it a 1/4 turn to snug it up and stop the drip.

Out of all the videos I watched on how to locate and shut off my main water line, yours is the one that helped...thank you!!!

[@fountainvalley6763]

Thank you so much for the tip.

[@dylanc760]

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the tip, even though mine was actually out on the sidewalk in the ground under a metal plate labeled "Water", your tip at least led me in the right direction (Out front). Other than shutting off my neighbor's water first, it went without a hitch.

Unless a super old house, there should also be one inside

I have a gas boiler that feeds my household radiators. I need to shut my main water to work in the bathroom. When I turn it back on will that affect my heating system.

Weird, mine was under my stairs to the basement

[@jurnagin]

my house was built in 1970 there's no basement, it's on a slab and I can find a valve nowhere, all the pipes run down into slab!! The city meter is about half a acre away! So where is my shut off valve and pressure regulator?

Did you figure this out? I am running into the same issues. I cannot find it ANYWHERE

[@jurnagin]

@@holleyrobertson8203 yes I found it! It's about a foot past the meter! Look how deep the pipe is running from the meter, that's how deep you need to dig to get too it When they build houses they put a access cover over the pressure regulator but after time it simply gets covered with leaves and mud until grass take over and it's part of the yard, when you find it you may see reminents of a cover which has rotted to pieces, you can take a 5 gallon bucket with a top for access and place over your new regulater, and cut out the bottom so it will fit over pipe, and you'll have access to it,

@@holleyrobertson8203 if your house is within city limits then the regular is on the city side and if house is in county or country and hen it's on your side, but it depends on location
