It&#8217;s important to know how often because if your valve ever goes out, you don&#8217;t want to be without water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally speaking, the lifespan of most residential water shut off valves is about 10 to 15 years. So, if you&#8217;re purchasing a home that is 10 or 15 years old &#8211; we would recommend that you invest in replacing your shut off valves now to avoid any problems in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Know If a Shut Off Valve Is Bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are basically 4 different ways that a water shut off valve can become defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It gets stuck when you try to turn it. Sometimes a little WD-40 can fix the problem but not always.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You notice that it&#8217;s leaking. If tightening the packing nuts doesn&#8217;t fix the problem then you probably have to replace the valve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It only closes partially. Again, a little WD-40 may fix this problem, or not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pipe by the shut off valve bursts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If any of these 4 issues occurs with any of your home&#8217;s shut off valves &#8211; we recommend that you go ahead and have them replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does It Cost To Have A Shut Off Valve Replaced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costs to replace a water shut off valve can begin at about $150.00. We recommend you speak with your plumber about this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any questions about your shut off valves or are having some problems with it, call Atlantis Plumbing today at&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:+17704438229\">770-443-8229<\/a>.
