How To Fix A Main Water Shut Off Valve Leak

In this How To Fix A Main Water Shut Off Valve Leak video, I show you how I repair 2 leaking water shut off valves. Sometimes a shut off valve will seam to leak from the handle, but it is most likely leaking through the stem. This is a classic plumbing nightmare. You will see your shut off valve dripping water constantly normally because the packing nut is loose, or you need add some packing thread to repair. I will show you how to stop your shut off valve from leaking without having to call a plumber. They don't want to come to your house for less than $200.00 to $300.00. I believe you can do it yourself.

Do you not have to turn off the water first?

Please do. I have been tinkering with these so often I believe it will not pop out and shoot all over. Please turn off the water.

That music, tho.

It would have been better by removing the valve wheel.

Yes that is an option
