Hi Folks
I am trying to replace the countertop in my kitchen and need to remove the sink. The valve under the sink is for the cold water tap only. I have been told that I have drain my hot water tank, and to switch off the water from outside the house so that the tank doesn't refill.
I have pulled up covers on the ground outside but they weren't the valve.
It's only an 8 year old house - and the guy giving me advice is living in a 35 year old house. Surely in a newer house I should be able to turn this off from inside the house? I notice there are three water valve shut-offs by the hot water tank upstairs. Will turning any of these do the trick?
Sorry if this is a basic question - but I have no experience with plumbing.
Thanks
