How to Fix Shut-Off Valve Leak
To fix a shut-off valve leak, you will need to follow these steps:
- Locate the shut-off valve. This is typically located near the main water supply pipe for your home.
- Turn off the water supply. Use the valve to shut off the water supply to the leaking valve.
- Drain the pipes. Open the faucet or fixture that is closest to the shut-off valve to allow the water in the pipes to drain out.
- Repair or replace the valve. If the valve is simply loose, you may be able to tighten it using a pipe wrench. If the valve is damaged, you will need to replace it.
- Turn the water supply back on. Slowly turn the water supply back on, and check the valve for any additional leaks.
It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the location of your home’s shut-off valves so that you can quickly turn off the water supply in case of an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Keep Your Pipes from Freezing
- Insulate your pipes. This is especially important for pipes that are exposed to cold temperatures, such as those in an unheated basement or crawl space. Use pipe insulation or wrap the pipes with heat tape to keep them warm.
- Keep the temperature in your home above freezing. Set your thermostat to at least 55°F, even when you are away from home.
- Disconnect your garden hoses. Drain the water from your hoses and shut off the valve that supplies water to them.
- Keep your cabinet doors open. This allows warm air to circulate around the pipes under your sink.
- Let the faucet drip. Running a small stream of water through the pipes can help prevent them from freezing.
- Keep the garage door closed. This can help protect the pipes that run through the garage from the cold.
By following these steps, you can help protect your pipes from freezing and avoid costly repairs.
How to Drain Pipes for the Winter
Winter is here! That means it’s time to prepare your pipes for the cold weather. Draining pipes helps reduce the risk of freezing and bursting during freezing temperatures. Here are some tips to help you effectively drain your pipes.
1. Start by shutting off all exterior faucets, such as those in your yard, garden or hose bibs.
2. Turn off any water shut-off valves located inside the house that lead to outdoor lines.
3. Open all exterior faucets and allow them to drain until they are completely empty of water.
4. Disconnect any hoses attached to outside faucets and bring them indoors or store them away from the cold weather.
5. Insulate all exposed pipes with foam wrap insulation designed for plumbing use, typically rated at R-4, which will provide four times more insulation than regular building insulation materials like fiberglass batting.
6. Some indoor supply lines, such as those leading from a water heater or a washing machine, may need incomplete draining if in areas without adequate heating systems for protection against freezing temperatures. In these cases, you can use a garden hose attachment with an adapter on one end and a spigot on the other end connected to the supply line in order to partially drain excess water out of the line when needed during periods of extreme cold temperatures.
How can weather cause a pipe to burst?
All that added pressure can sometimes cause the pipes to explode as it cannot contain the ice buildup in your plumbing system. Oftentimes, the pressure will build and burst right out of the pipe wall or a weak joint in the plumbing system.
How Can I prevent pipe bursts at home?
Another added measure would be to not allow the temperature in the home to dip below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Keeping your cabinet doors open beneath your sink area will also allow warmer air to flow and circulate your pipes and cause them not to freeze. Contact a plumber near you to ensure your home is properly winterized and ready for when the onslaught of the winter months comes.
How do I add hot water to my outdoor shower?
In order to have hot water outside, the shower needs to connect to the hot water system in the house.
Our plumbers are trained and experienced to do this. Once the connection to the hot water system is made, the outside shower will have both hot and cold water.
What is the difference between hard and soft water?
Here at Preferred Plumbing Solutions Inc., one of the most common questions we receive is about the differences between hard and soft water. Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale to build up in pipes and appliances over time. Soft water on the other hand, is free of those minerals, allowing soap to lather better and providing a gentler touch. In addition, soft water can assist with reducing soap scum in sinks and showers while helping reverse some of the damage caused by hard water. Ultimately, the key difference between hard and soft water has to do with those mineral levels and their effects on plumbing systems.
