Curb Stop and Shutoff Valve Replacement in Hopatcong, NJ
In an emergency you need to turn the water off fast. Many houses have a main shutoff that is an old gate valve, seized in place, or one that turns but never fully closes.
SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Hopatcong, NJ homeowners with plumbers who replace those valves. Inside the house, the usual swap is a full port brass ball valve, a quarter turn from open to closed. The plumber may add a second valve on the other side of the meter or a pressure reducing valve at the same time.
The curb stop is the valve in a small box near the street or property line, operated with a long curb key. In many towns the utility owns it, so the plumber coordinates with the water department before working on it. A buried box filled with dirt or a broken stem rod is common.
If you cannot find or close your main shutoff, that is worth fixing before a pipe bursts. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.
