1. Know your shut-off valve:

Learn where your main water shut-off is and test it twice a year.

2. Stop a toilet overflow fast:

Remove the tank lid and push the flapper down or turn the water valve behind the toilet clockwise.

3. Fix low faucet pressure:

Unscrew the aerator, rinse out sediment, and reinstall.

4. Check for hidden leaks:

Look under sinks, behind toilets, and around hose bibs for moisture or corrosion.

5. Don’t ignore drips:

Even small leaks waste gallons of water and raise your bill.
