Water shutoff mapping and tagging in Austin, TX
Know where the water stops before you need to
The February freeze taught Austin homeowners what it costs to hunt for a shutoff in the dark with water pouring through a ceiling. We find the main, exercise the valves so they actually turn, tag every one, and send you a map of the house.
What the visit covers
- Locate and test the main shutoff at the meter and at the house
- Locate fixture stops at toilets, sinks and appliances
- Exercise valves so they are not seized
- Durable tags at each valve
- Photo map of every shutoff sent to you
Signs it is time
- You are not sure where the main is
- A valve you tried once and could not turn
- A home you bought within the last few years
- Anyone in the house who would not know what to do at 2 a.m.
What it costs in Austin
One-time mapping and tagging runs about $95 to $165 and is included on the first visit for members.
Where we do this work
Central Austin homes in Hyde Park, Clarksville and Travis Heights often have the main buried under decades of landscaping. Those take the longest to find, which is exactly why they are worth mapping now.

Questions Austin homeowners ask
- Do you replace seized valves?
- We flag them with photos. Replacement is licensed plumbing work and we will tell you plainly that it needs a plumber.
- Is this useful for freeze prep?
- It is the core of it. We pair it with hose bib covers and an exterior faucet check each fall.
- Do renters benefit from this?
- Yes, and we keep the tagging non-destructive so it works in a rental.
