Shower valve installation lets you play with customization. For example, a new valve with an anti-scald feature can offer safety for the whole family. While you can do this yourself, access to the valve, more often than not, is restricted, making installations or repairs tricky.
• Main water valve replacement/repair: Strong leaks or any uncontrollable gushing coming from your pipes can be dangerous and may cause extensive damage to your property. This problem might indicate an issue with your main water valve. If you notice signs of leaks and for main water valve replacement/repair, get in touch with American Rooters’ expert plumbers. 
• Main shutoff valve repair/installation: Usually found in the basement or outside the house, your main shutoff valve, when open, allows water to flow through pipes and into the house. When shut off, such as during emergencies, they completely cut off your water supply. When dealing with main shutoff valve repair, installation, or maintenance, always enlist the help of licensed plumbing professionals to get the job done right.
