My shower wouldn’t turn off this morning and the knob just kept spinning. I was freaking out. I came across your video and was able to find my main water valve in seconds. Thank you for making this video.

Finally the right answer. This has got to be the smartest Plumber on U-tuve. He get's the question asked. The Meter Shut off valve that belines to the city is not your main shut off valve for your home Utube Plumber s. Thank you, so much for being, not only a plumber, but a thinker. I know it is not your fault that the people, in charge of directing us to the right responders don't have a clue.

Fantastic help thanks! Spend an hour under my house looking for shut off valves to a bathtub that didn't exsist and failing to find the main shut off as well until I found your video! Somebody buy this man a beer!

Thanks for this video, and for suggesting to show your kids how to turn off the water, I didn't think of that but it's a great idea.

Thank you so much. The water got turned off of a deceased grandparents house due to a leak. I got it cut back on, but the water company didn't turn the master valve to turn it back on, even though they activated the water again. Someone on that contracted to check out the leak issue turn off the master valve I didn't detail that to me, so I haven't had water for almost a week, and have been trying to figure out how to get it turned back on, finding that Master valve.

This video really helped a Playa out bro

[gmilstein]

So after you shut the valve, I'm assuming open the faucets to let the rest of the water out? Thanks for the video.
