Personal Consumer Issues • Anyone turnoff house main water shutoff when away???

We always did at your previous house. Once during a relatively short business trip we came home to a leaking washing machine supply line that made a mess in the basement. I didn’t replace any of the ceiling but I did have to spend several hours getting the stain removed and the ceiling repainted. If we were gone for more than two days it would have been a really big problem.

That project took far longer than the 5 minutes to turn off the water (and then back on again) each time we left after that, combined.

An ounce of prevention is worth…
