My main water valve is leaking. The part where you turn the water on has a small crack... it is dripping a lot about one drip every 30 seconds. Is this something we can fix ourselves?

Are you talking about your main shut off valve or something else?

Can you post a picture of it, Thanks.

Does your valve look like this?(see image) tell me where the crack is. Is this a threaded or a soldered valve? Let me know, Tom
