Is it OK to shut off your water when on vacation? Yes, shutting off your water before you go on vacation is a good idea to prevent damage to your home.

Jim, the Grumpy Plumber, shares the benefits of turning off your water while on vacation and how to turn off your water.

Turn off your city supply line or your main water shut-off valve before you go on vacation. Valves, braided stainless steal lines, appliances, pipes, etc can all break during your vacation.

Cold climate, warm climate, or a short vacation: you should take a minute to turn off the water in your house.
