Curb Stop and Shutoff Valve Replacement in Prospect Heights, IL

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 Prospect Heights, IL 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.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Curb Stop and Shutoff Valve Replacement in Prospect Heights, IL.

Talk to a person
How deep is a water service line buried?
It has to sit below the local frost line. That can be 12 inches in warm southern areas and 5 feet or more in the northern states. Your local code sets the exact depth.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Prospect Heights, IL?
No. Plumbers cut small access holes where pipes turn or connect, then patch, tape, mud and texture them. Closets and cabinet backs are used where possible.
Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?
Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
Can slab leaks be fixed without breaking the floor?
Often the lines under the slab are abandoned and new PEX is rerouted through the attic or walls. That leaves the concrete and flooring alone.
