Knowing your home in case of emergency.

When your home has a flood or fire it is necessary to know where your main shut off locations are for gas and water. No fire is convenient and shutting off your gas may be the farthest thing from your mind. In some cases a kitchen fire will be put out by a home extinguisher. But if the gas is still leaking then it will need to be closed until repairs can be made to the damaged portion of your home.

The same can be said if a pipe were to break in your home. Gallons and gallons of water will be intruding the home filling up basements and destroying property. The time it takes to find the shut off location could be the difference of hundreds of dollars as pressurized pipes continue to spray water into the home.
