Prevent Water Damage in Your Unit – What Residents Should Know

By ysotoleon · July 1, 2026

Exercising Water Shut Off Valves: Where are your main unit water shutoff valves? Each unit at The Grande North has one set of valves (one for hot – one for cold) located in the ceiling, behind an access panel. The common locations for these valves are: master bedroom closet cieling or hallway closet cieling. In an emergency, this is the valve that shuts water off to your entire unit.

Knowing where your shutoff valve is, and making sure it works, can prevent: Insurance claims, Flooding in your unit, Damage to units below you, & Expensive repairs

Inaccessible Water Shutoff Valves: Make Sure Your Shotoff Valves are Accessible – You have to be able to turn off the water in an emergency to avoid costly building flooding and damage! We highly recommend walking through your unit, locating the cieling access panel, and confirming you can easily reach and open it. If furniture, shelving, or stored items block access, please clear the area. Not being able to reach this valve can lead to severe and costly flooding.

How to Turn Your Water Off & On: Turning the water shutoff valve “clockwise” or “to the right” (rightie tightie) closes the valve – turns off the water.

Turning the water shutoff valve “counterclockwise” or “to the left” (leftie loosie) opens the valve – turns on the water supply.

Leaking Water Shutoff Valves – If your valve(s) leak when you touch or turn them, then they likely need replacement. This replacement will require the water to be shut off in either your “stack” or “zone,” affecting several units and floors. Please contact Management if this replacement is necessary as we require at least 48 hours notice to coordinate this work.

Partially-Closed Water Shutoff Valves – If your valve(s) were not open “all the way,” your water pressure will be affected and will become weak/low. After exercising your valves, make sure they are fully turned back on.

Stiff or Frozen Valves – This is perhaps the most common problem. Because these valves are rarely used, or exercised, they often become hard to turn over time. If you cannot turn the shutoff valve with a modest force, don’t force it – if you break the valve a plumbing leak may ensue. To prevent this, residents should gently exercise (turn off and back on) the shutoff valve 2–3 times per year to keep
