Hopefully you are reading this to educate yourself before disaster strikes. This post will be short and to the point:

Here's how to turn your home's water off in case of an emergency.

Wait, don't plumbers find leaks?

Well, yes.

And No.

Traditional plumbers are skilled at fixing a problem when they know what that problem is. After all, that’s their profession.

But what if you can’t tell where the leak is?

It may surprise you to know that, when you have a leak with a mystery source, your plumber is likely scratching his head as much as you are on how to locate it. That's where leak detectors come in. Leak detectors are the plumbers that plumbers call when they can't find the leak. 

It's a common question, and one you might not be able to confidently answer.

In the winter, maybe you got by with adding water every couple weeks. Now the days are getting longer and warmer, and you're adding water much more frequently. Is it just the weather? Or do you have a leak?
