Good suggestions, I'll check into it, although I have to say I'm a little skeptical, since the inspector and both realtors told me the shutoff valve is not required, and none of them in that neighborhood have them. Those guys would never lie, right?
It would be a long, out-of-the-way run to the water heater on the far side of the garage, or the sink on the back wall, but it's a straight shot to the kitchen. If they were going to put in a valve, you'd think they would do it right where the main crosses the garage wall.
I don't think its worth breaking out the edge of the slab to install one. That's why I was wondering if anyone had installed one of those leak-detecting shutoff valves. I could put that in the ground outside.
