Signs Valve Replacement Is Needed
Leaks
If you see any water leaking from your valves, it’s a sign that they need to be replaced. If a valve begins to leak, it can lead to significant water waste.
For example, the average household with one leak wastes more than 10,000 gallons of water annually. As you can see, this serious problem requires immediate attention.
Hard to Turn
If your valves are hard to turn, it’s a sign that they are corroded or damaged. The harder a valve is to turn, the more difficult it will be to shut off the water if an issue occurs.
If you do not replace the valve when you notice this issue, you may have more serious problems later. Act quickly to avoid serious water damage in your home.
The Valves Reached the 10-Year Mark
If your valves are over 10 years old, it’s a good idea to replace them. Even if they seem to be working fine, don’t risk it. Replacing them at this point will save you issues down the road.
