        "text": "It is advisable to inspect your main water shutoff valve annually to ensure it's easily accessible and functional. Regular operation (turning it fully off and on) can help prevent seizing due to disuse. Replacement typically isn't needed unless there's visible damage, persistent leaks, or it fails to operate correctly during an inspection. Regular checks can be done during routine plumbing maintenance offered by CG Plumbing Solutions.",
