Does Your Toilet Have a Shut Off Valve?
Water supply to the toilet fills the toilet tank and is released from the tank into the bowl flushing the waste away.
Having a shut off valve for your toilet tank is a very good idea, as the toilet can be shut off if there is a leak, without shutting off the main house valve.
Many older homes that have not been updated do not have a valve- they are directly plumbed into the water supply system.
This can be an issue if isolating the toilet because of a leak needs to be done.
Protect your home from leaks from your toilet and ensure you have a shut off valve.
Sometimes, if these valves are old they can leak and not hold the water, so check them regularly!
