Not sure if your valve is failing? Look for these warning signs:
Water doesn’t shut off completely
Dripping or leaking inside the valve box
Rust, corrosion, or heavy mineral buildup
Handle feels stuck, stiff, or spins freely
Sprinkler lines still holding water in winter
Higher-than-normal water bills
Even a tiny leak can freeze, expand, and burst your irrigation lines. We quickly test your valve and determine whether repair or replacement is the most reliable solution.
If your valve is outdated, damaged, or not frost-free, replacing it is usually the safest and most cost-effective option. We install long-lasting, frost-rated valves for:

Remodels or home additions
New construction

We find your stop and waste valve, test for leaks, and inspect for mechanical failure or improper installation.
If your valve is still viable, we’ll repair it. If it’s failing, we’ll recommend replacement—no upselling.
We excavate carefully, install or repair the valve, handle soldering and sealing, and restore the area.
We verify complete shutoff, confirm drainage, and show you how to prep your system for freeze season.
Q: What does a stop and waste valve do?
A: It shuts off water to outdoor plumbing and automatically drains the remaining water to prevent freezing.
Q: How deep should the valve be buried?
A: In Riverton, it should be placed 12–18 inches below the frost line for proper freeze defense.
Q: When should I shut it off for winter?
A: Before the first hard freeze—usually late October or early November in Riverton.
Q: Can I replace it myself?
A: It’s risky. Correct depth, sealing, soldering, and pressure testing require a licensed plumber to avoid leaks or freeze failures.
Don’t wait for a freeze to expose a failing valve. Monkey Wrench Plumbing provides fast, reliable stop and waste valve installation and repair to keep your home protected all winter long.
