How can I turn off my water in an emergency?

Typically, when houses are constructed, a shut off valve is installed at the closest hose bib to the water meter. Most of the time, this valve has been buried over the years and doesn’t work. It can be anywhere from inches to feet deep. If you have a leak inside the house, it is very important to have this valve located to avoid any damage to the property.
