Can I have installed a valve that would only shut off our water supply?

I live in a town home, attached to one other town home. We share one main water shut off valve which is in our basement. Our home has some major plumbing issues (don’t know about theirs) which would require the water to be shut off for extended periods of time. Can I have installed a valve that would only shut off our water supply?

How do I fix a leaking water supply pipe under the kitchen sink?

The nut directly above the Hot water supply shutoff valve sprung a leak (more like a spray). I shut off our water, but I’m not really sure where to go from here.

I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, but plumbing is not my forte.

plumbing rough in of a tub/shower in basement concrete floor?

i’m new to plumbing houses with basements. toilets and sinks are no problem, however, im clueless as of how to rough in a tub/shower. I’ve heard of tub boxes but i know nothing about them. Where should I place in relation to the walls. i realize once the concrete is poured around it, it’s done. I could sure use some help with this. I appreciate any help.

How do you install a spayer to the water supply in the kitchen?

I bought a new sink and faucet as i am renovating my kitchen. I dont know much about plumbing. I have the hot and cold lines going to the hot and cold pipes for the faucet. The spayer hose looks as though it is supposed to connect to one of the lines. I want to connect so that I could choose the temperature of the sprayer based on my faucet. Is there something i should be looking for? Otherwise i was going to just hook it up to either the hot or cold water supply.

How do I cut off main water supply to house coming from our well?

We are finishing our basement. One of the things we need to do is re-route a small amount of plumbing in one particular corner. In this corner of the basement sits our pump – we have well water. We will have to cut off main supply of water or cut off pump – I’m not sure which. We will be moving the pump slightly, 6-8 inches so that we can frame out walls behind it. We will then build a closet that will house the un-attractive pump, but allow easy access to it. We will also be replacing/rerouting a few feet of pipes beginning with those that come directly out of the pump housing. We are not experienced in plumbing, so would appreciate any available help.
