Shutoff detail
Shutoff Valves — A Closer Look
What an angle stop does
An angle stop is the small shutoff valve under a sink or behind a toilet that lets you cut water to that one fixture without shutting off the whole house. Reliable shutoffs make almost every other fixture repair simpler and cleaner.
Stuck, leaking, or won't fully shut off
Older valves seize from corrosion, weep at the stem or packing when turned, or fail to stop the water completely. A valve that won't fully close is a problem worth addressing before it's needed in a hurry.
Quarter-turn vs multi-turn valves
Multi-turn valves use a rubber washer that hardens and fails over time, while quarter-turn valves are generally more reliable and easier to operate. When an old multi-turn valve is acting up, switching to a quarter-turn is a common upgrade.
Why working shutoffs matter before fixture repairs
A dependable shutoff is the starting point for faucet and toilet work and for replacing a supply line. A valve that leaks when touched is often itself the leak source. See our service areas.
