The water won't drain around my outside shutoff valve. The faucet at the valve is not dripping any water. Could it be underground problem?
Most homes have a main shutoff valve that goes from the street to the lowest part of the house. usually, they may also have another valve from lowest part of the house to the water fixtures. Ur main drain line is usually 4 feet or more away from the supply incoming line. Your home's outside shutoff valve is called a valve for the supply from your city water. It has nothing to do with your drain system. If you see water coming up from that outside shutoff valve, then a professional plumber needs to dig up the dirt around the valve and replace it. Usually there are no fixtures at this main shutoff valve, unless you are talking about an outside valve for a garden hose? So can u pls rephrase your question?
i don,t understand your Question.
