Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You
Where do I find the water shut off for outside?
More of a handyman question but where can I find the valves that shut off my outside faucets so my pipes don't freeze.

This is going to vary on the home, but usually it will be located just inside the home opposite of the spigot. Sometimes there is an access panel if it is in finished space. Hope this helps!

Hello Jahon, If you look on the interior of the home where the pipe leads to the outdoor faucet you should see a valve for on/off. If it is not directly in view, follow the pipes toward the main line until valve is found.

In New Hampshire, the shut-off is located on the opposite side of the spigot location on the interior side of the home in the basement, usually where the foundation sill meets the foundation wall. Follow the pipes to the shut-off.

Typically this will be on the side of the house where you find a main pipe going into the home. You may also purchase hose bib covers that will secure around the hose bibs to insulate them and or use weather wraps to keep them insulated.

It can vary from home to home, but typically comes through an area near the front of the house. If you have a basement, check there. If you have a garage, it may be there or near your water heater.
