Plumber in Bastrop, TX: know where your water shuts off

Plumber Bros covers Bastrop, ZIP 78602. The single most useful thing to know before any plumbing problem is how to stop the water.

Where is my main water shutoff?

  • Look where the water line enters the house: garage wall, utility room or near the water heater.
  • Check the meter box near the street; there is often a valve on the house side of the meter.
  • Test it gently. If it won't turn or drips when moved, it is worth replacing.
  • Locate the small valves under sinks, behind toilets and above the water heater too.
  • Show everyone in the home where the main is.

Bastrop plumbing questions

My shutoff is stuck. Should I force it?
No. Forcing an old valve can break it. Have it replaced.
Can I use the meter valve?
Some meter valves need a special key and may belong to the utility. Use the house-side valve when there is one.
What if I can't find a shutoff at all?
Call and ask for help locating one, or for a new valve to be added.
