Available For Any Type of Plumbing, Drain & HVAC Emergency
Hot water, cold water, ground water, potable water, salt water, and/or wastewater are all handled and controlled by water valves. Valves are found in a wide range of everyday machinery and may perform a number of tasks. The valve opens to permit flow and shuts to prevent it.
A valve is a mechanical device that partially or completely blocks a pipe in addition to changing the amount of liquid that passes through it. You open a valve that allows high pressure water to escape from a pipe when you turn on a faucet (tap) to brush your teeth.
Types of valve we supply and install for both Residential & Commercial Purposes:
Gate valves are one of the most common types of valves used in plumbing. Gate valves regulate water flow by raising or lowering an internal gate, which is controlled by a twist-type implement or knob at the valve’s top. Gate valves should never be used to control flow volume; they are only designed to be fully open (allowing full flow) or fully closed (preventing full flow) (stopping the flow entirely).
The most reliable valve type is the ball valve, which is commonly used for main water shutdowns and branch line back-flow prevention and prevents back-flow preventer leak. A ball valve, like a gate valve, is an all-or-nothing valve, meaning it can only be fully open to allow full flow or fully closed to stop all water flow.
In plumbing applications, globe valves are used to control or throttle the flow of water. The bulge in the body of this valve gives it its name, a shape that is not found in other valve types. A globe valve’s handle is usually a twist knob.
A backwater valve is a mechanism fitted on a sewer or waste pipe that stops sewage or waste water from flowing back into the structure. The valve is a physical barrier that enables sewage to flow in one direction while preventing backflow from plumbing fixtures such as toilet floors, shower sinks, bathtubs, and drains.
When the valve is not properly aligned with the flange/pipe, this is the most common cause of valve problems. To reduce the load on the piping assembly, support the valve as needed.
Tighten the bolts one at a time, in stages, to ensure uniform pressure and a seal between both the valve, gasket, and flanges.

It’s a safe and simple fix with the appropriate materials and approach.
The valve is usually 3 to 5 feet away from where the water main enters the house. If it’s not on the front wall, look for it in the mechanical room or near the water heater or furnace.
1. Turn off the water supply to the leaky faucet 2. Release the stem after removing the handle. 3. Replace the old washer with the new one. 4. Reattach the handle and tighten the packing nut carefully with a tool.
After roughly 8-10 years, the portion of the water valve generally stops working.
A water valve replacement is a reasonably simple plumbing operation. You may easily twist off and replace your old valve if it is threaded or screws straight into the pipe.
