How do I maintain my new angle stops?
To maintain your new angle stops, it is a good practice to turn the handle off and on once every few months. This "exercise" prevents mineral deposits from building up inside the valve, ensuring the handle remains easy to turn during an emergency.
Why is professional angle stop replacement better than DIY?
Angle stops are often attached to old pipes that can be easily twisted or broken if the wrong amount of torque is applied. A professional plumber has the specialized tools and experience to remove the old valve without damaging the pipe inside your wall, preventing an expensive and invasive repair.
Is the replacement process messy?
We take great care to contain any residual water that is left in the lines when the old valve is removed. Our 3-step process includes using specialized containment tools and a final cleanup, leaving your cabinets dry and tidy.
How does an angle stop replacement provide value?
Replacing old angle stops provides immense value by preventing the #1 cause of residential indoor flooding. Modern quarter-turn valves are much more reliable than older models, providing an essential safety upgrade that protects your flooring and cabinetry.
What logistics are involved in replacing angle stops?
The process involves a temporary water shut-off to the specific area or the entire home while the old valves are removed and new ones are fitted. Our team manages these logistics quickly to ensure your water service is restored with minimal downtime.
