Water Shut-Off Valve Repair & Replacement in Ottawa

 A functional shut-off valve is your home's first line of defense against a plumbing disaster. If a pipe bursts and your main valve is seized or leaking, a minor repair can quickly turn into a major flood.

Hydra Plumbing specializes in the repair and replacement of all residential valves, ensuring you have total control over your home's water supply when it matters most.

• Main Water Shut-Off Replacement: If your main valve (usually located where the water enters your home) is old, rusted, or hard to turn, we can replace it with a high-quality, full-port ball valve for maximum reliability.
• Fixture Shut-Off Valves: We install and repair "stop" valves under sinks, behind toilets, and behind appliances like dishwashers and refrigerators.
• Seized Valve Repair: Over time, minerals in Ottawa’s water can cause gate valves to seize in the open or closed position. We can often rebuild or replace these to restore functionality.
• Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV): If your home's water pressure is too high, it can damage your appliances and pipes. We install PRVs to keep your plumbing system within a safe operating range.

• Green or White Crusting: This is a sign of "slow leaks" and corrosion (oxidation) that will eventually lead to a failure.
• The Handle Won't Budge: If you can't turn the valve by hand, don't force it—it could snap. It's time for a professional replacement.
• Visible Dripping: Even a slow drip from the "packing nut" around the handle can cause water damage and mold.
• Incomplete Shut-Off: If you turn the valve all the way off but water still trickles from the faucet, the internal seal has failed.
