A shut off valve is an inexpensive and convenient addition to any home plumbing system. It can save you time and money, and help you avoid unnecessary damage. With a shut off valve, you can stop the flow to a specific fixture without shutting off the water supply throughout your entire home. So if you experience leaking from one of your fixtures, if you have a shut off valve on that particular fixture, you can act quickly and turn it off to stop the leak while you call a professional Toronto plumber to help you. Since you’re able to stop the flow of water right away, you minimize damages.
At Drain Rescue Plumbers, we suggest that every fixture in your home have its own shut off valve if possible. So if you need a fixture repair or replacement, call in our licensed plumbers in Toronto to install a shut off valve at the same time. You never know, this might just save you a ton of trouble in the future.
Do you know where the main water shut off valve is located in your home? Many homeowners don’t and it isn’t until they find themselves in an emergency that they realize how important it is that they do know! Of course, by then it may be too late. In the event of a plumbing emergency, even if you’re slightly delayed finding your shut off valve, this can result in gallons of spilled water and colossal damage to your home. Make sure you know where your main water shut off valve is located and keep a wrench next to it so you’re always prepared for the unexpected.
Most homes in the Toronto area that get their water from a city supply will have a water metre and a shut off valve next to each other. The water metre is usually located near the street, in an underground access area. If you lift the cover, you will find either a handle or a valve with a straight metal flange across the top. You need to turn the handle (with your wrench) until it won’t turn anymore. Once this is complete, your water should be shut off.
Some homes have a main water shut off valve as well as additional shut off valves that can turn off water from various points in your home. For example, you’ll find the main shut off valve at the point where water enters your house. But you may also have shut off valves in the basement, under your kitchen sink, under a main closet floor and on every toilet.
If you cannot access or find your main water shut off valve, call a local Toronto plumber immediately!

They came the same day (after 3 other companies promised that and did not show up). My technician was very kind and very skilled. He solved the problem quickly and the whole experience was overall very pleasant.
Drain Rescue is definitely true to it's name. My drain was completely blocked and not at all functional when I called them. They asked if I needed someone to come out the same day (it was evening). I declined since it wasn't really an emergency, just a huge inconvenience. The plumber came out right on the time the next morning and had my drain fixed in about 30 minutes. The service was excellent and the price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a plumber.
The guys did a great job excavating both the inside and outside of my house to replace 6-8 feet of drain pipes. They cleaned up well and were very friendly. They also had very competitive pricing.
Been having issues with my main drain for 2 years finally Drain rescue came and changed my clay pipes to Pvc and now everything is working great.
Great service! I got Drain Rescue to come and the tech was very helpful and explained everything that was needed to be done.
On time, on budget and totally professional. Spent ton of time answering all my questions on other possible plumbing issues. .More than happy to use them for future projects without hesitation.
