New Water Shut-Off Valve Installation

Water shut-off valve installation is a serious matter. Some pipes go well with some shut-off valves — but some don’t. A good plumber knows it’s essential to pair the right valve with the right pipes. Failing to do so will result in a poorly fitting connection that leads to severe water damage due to leakages that the valve cannot hold back. Cheap Plumber offers water valve replacement in Toronto when you need it.

Trusted and Certified Plumbers: Dependable and Experienced

Many older dwellings in Toronto still have original pipes that are typically constructed out of lead or copper and feature antiquated main shut-off valves. Over time, these valves can break down and develop leaks and operational difficulties due to age or corrosion. Replacing these valves isn’t a DIY job. You need a licensed company like Cheap Plumber for water valve installation.

You can count on a steady supply of water to your residence when the public lines are working correctly. Most plumbing systems feature a shut-off valve on the mainline, which is essential since water runs at high pressure and is unpredictable. The main shut-off valve is positioned under the water hose connection. It prevents water from flowing from the meter to your home.

It would be optimal if you locked your shut-off valve to turn off the water supply to your residence’s plumbing system. You’ll find it helpful in situations like the following:

• When you intend to be away from home for an extended period
• When you have a plumbing emergency like a broken pipe
• When you have toilets, leaks, faucets, and taps fixed
• When you are winterizing your cottage or cabin
• When replacing portions of your home’s water system

You know you need a shut-off valve replacement when you notice drops of water dripping from your drains even after completely closing the main shut-off valve.

According to expert plumbers, you should replace the water shut-off valves when they develop problems. Repairing the fixture once it is damaged is very difficult, and there is no guarantee that it will function efficiently afterward.

A traditional water shut-off valve joins the supplier pipe and distributor pipe so that it’s easier to safeguard against spillage or leakage. You can install shut-off valves in many places within your home like the shower, laundry room, toilet, bathtub, or kitchen sink. When choosing shut-off valve replacement in Toronto, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes with obtaining protection against costly water damage.

It’s time to consider a shut-off valve replacement when you notice water flow issues like water dripping even after you completely close the shut-off valve.

According to the experts, homeowners should replace their water shut-off valves when these devices start exhibiting issues. Repairing the fixture after it’s already damaged is a hit-or-miss fix since there’s no guarantee the fixed device will last long term.

You can expect to pay between $10 and $30 for a shut-off valve, but installation expenses can vary substantially depending on valve type and complexity. Installation usually costs between $135 and $350 depending on your region and the valve type. When getting multiple valves, expect to pay between $600 and $850 for installations.

When you need plumbing service like shut-off valve replacement, a licensed and experienced plumber is a must. Here are some reasons why this is the case:

• Installing new shut-off valves requires cutting an existing pipeline, making threads, installing the valves, and sealing them. Leave the job to a licensed plumber with the know-how, equipment, and tools to do the job right.
• Removing the old valves without damaging the drains is easier said than done. If you try to do it independently and damage the lines, the fix could cost a small fortune. A professional plumber won’t make rookie mistakes.

Important Considerations for Main Shut-Off Valve Replacement

Before we replace the valve, the water supply must be shut off by the city. You can arrange this by calling 311. If the city’s curb shut-off valve is not working properly, it must be repaired first. The valve and pipe must both be replaced if your home has lead pipes.

It’s a good idea to coordinate the service call with the city’s water shut-off schedule. During the replacement process, water will be temporarily interrupted. Storing water in advance to avoid inconvenience makes sense.

Suggestions for Homeowners from Cheap Plumber

1. Know the Location: Ensure everyone in your household knows where the shut-off valve is located and how to use it when there’s an emergency.
2. Maintain Clear Access: Don’t clutter the area around the shut-off valve so it can be accessed easily during emergencies.
3. Replace as Required: Replace old, damaged valves before they start to leak to safeguard against future issues. A ball-type valve offers superior reliability.
4. Trust Expert Advice: Follow the advice of licensed plumbers who base their suggestions on experience rather than sales.
