Aside from wasting gallons of water, split pipes cause costly water related damage to walls, floors and your indoor belongings. Water related\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.excellentphm.com\/plumbing-repairs.html\">plumbing emergencies<\/a><\/strong> can be damaged controlled by closing the water\u00a0<strong>shutoff valve<\/strong> to your Colorado Springs home. Get to know where your\u00a0<strong>water shutoff valve<\/strong> is located should you encounter water related\u00a0<strong>plumbing emergency<\/strong> or even a\u00a0<strong>running toilet<\/strong>. Close water supply and save on money and water.<\/p>\n<p>Home water supply systems contains main and master shutoff valves for stopping water flow to entire house or to specific\u00a0<strong>plumbing fixtures<\/strong>. Most water meters have a shutoff valve before the meter and one after meter. Cold climate properties have their water meter located in warm indoor spaces like basements to prevent freezing complications. Milder climate homes have their water meter attached to an exterior wall or nestled in an underground box with a removable lid. Between the street&#8217;s water main and meter are located a buried curb stop valve and a corporation stop, where your Colorado Springs home&#8217;s water supply connects to water mains. Both the curb stop valve and corporation stop are inaccessible to the public, only to city workers with special tools.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the\u00a0<strong>water meter<\/strong>, modern Colorado Springs homes also have localized shutoff valves with handles, called\u00a0<strong>fixture supply stops<\/strong>, and located on water supply pipes to toilets, faucets, washing machines, water heaters, dishwashers, and water softeners. Closing the water supply to one of the above fixtures is a matter of turning the handle clockwise two to four full turns. Older homes have one fixture supply stop on the water supply to the toilet only.<\/p>\n<p>Your <strong>Colorado Springs plumber<\/strong> highly recommends people to get to know their\u00a0<strong>water shutoff valves<\/strong> and avoid expensive water related damages, high water bills, and water wastage.<\/p>\n<h3>If you are looking for a Colorado Springs plumber fixture specialist then please call 719-393-9300 or complete our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.excellentphm.com\/contact-us.php\">online request form<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burst pipe plumbing emergencies can strike at any time and catch us unaware.
