Every home should have a main shutoff that closes with one hand and fixture valves that actually work. In many older homes, they don't. This page is about fixing that, so the next leak stays small.
Signs you need a plumber
- A sink, tub or toilet overflowing that you can't stop
- A main shutoff or fixture valve that won't turn or won't fully close
- A valve that drips from the stem or packing nut
- No working shutoff for a fixture or appliance
- Ice maker, washer or water heater without an accessible valve
Common causes
Old gate valves
Gate valves seize or break internally after years of not being used.
Mineral buildup
Scale keeps valves from turning or sealing.
Worn packing and washers
Older valves leak around the stem when turned.
No valve installed
Some fixtures and appliances were connected without a separate shutoff.
What you can safely do first
- If a fixture valve won't close, close the main
- If the main won't close, the utility may be able to shut water off at the meter
- Turn off power to electrical items near water
- Call 856-UNIFORM and say the water won't shut off
How we diagnose it
We test the main and each fixture valve, then replace the ones that won't close or seal. Quarter-turn ball valves are the usual upgrade: they're easy to close and less likely to seize. We'll show you where each valve is when we're done.
Repair options
| Option | When it fits |

| Install an automatic leak shutoff | Owners of seasonal homes who want water shut off automatically when a leak is detected. |
What affects the price
You get a written estimate after diagnosis and before any work starts. These are the things that move the number:
- Number of valves replaced
- Main valve location and pipe type
- Whether the utility must shut off water at the meter
- Automatic shutoff equipment, if chosen
More detail is in our Naples plumber cost guide.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I test my shutoffs?
Turning each valve closed and open once a year helps keep it working. If one won't move easily, don't force it; call us.
Is an automatic leak shutoff worth it?
For homes that sit empty for weeks at a time, many owners find it worthwhile. We can explain options and installation.
