Shutoff valve leaking or stuck?

A leaking, corroded, or hard-to-turn shutoff at one fixture can need repair.

Not a single-fixture leak?

Shutoff valves under sinks, behind toilets, or at individual fixtures can leak or seize over time.

Common signs and decision points

  • Drip or weep at an angle stop or fixture shutoff
  • Shutoff will not turn or will not fully stop water
  • Corrosion visible at one fixture valve
  • Single valve location with no whole-house symptoms

Questions

Should I force a stuck shutoff valve?
Avoid forcing it—broken valves can leak worse. Note whether water still passes when the valve is closed and send a photo of the valve.
Is a leaking angle stop an emergency?
Active spraying or flooding needs immediate attention. A slow weep at one fixture shutoff is usually repair-level work at that location.
