Brampton Main Shut-Off Valve Replacement

No valve in the house matters more than the main shut-off. If it is seized, leaking, or will not close fully, it will not help you on the day a pipe bursts.

Signs your main valve needs attention

  • The handle will not turn, or turns without closing
  • Water still trickles through when the valve is closed
  • Drips or corrosion around the valve body
  • An old gate valve with a round wheel handle

Replacing the main shut-off

We arrange for the Region of Peel to close the curb stop, or close it ourselves if allowed, then fit a full-bore ball valve that closes in a quarter turn. These are quick to close and rarely seize. We also check the pipe before and after the meter for corrosion.

  1. Arrange water shut-off at the curb.
  2. Remove the old valve and clean the pipe ends.
  3. Install a new ball valve and test.
  4. Hang a tag on the valve so family members spot it quickly.

Know where yours is

Typical Brampton layouts put the main by the meter on the street-side basement wall; some recent builds tuck it into a furnace room or below the staircase. Show every adult in the house where it is.
