Shut Off Main Water Supply

What happens here

The very first and most critical step is to turn off the main water supply to the entire house. This is typically done by locating the main shut-off valve, often found near the water meter or where the main water line enters the house, and turning its handle to the 'off' position. This ensures no water flows to the working area during the repair.

Goal: Before starting any plumbing work, locate and turn off the main water supply to the house to prevent flooding.
