Stopping Water Damage Before It Starts!

Did you know that you’re 3.5 times more likely to experience water damage than theft in your home?

And water leaks can cause more damage than burglars can. Just imagine a home security system that would not only let you know when there is an intruder, but could also stop that intruder in their tracks — that’s how leakSMART® works when water threatens your home. 

There are 4 main components to the leakSMART® system, and we'll explain those in a little bit. First, how does the system work? The system detects water leaks throughout your home, shuts off the water at the first sign of a leak, alerts you with both audible and visible alarms, and sends you an app notification on your smart device — all in less than 5 seconds. 

The first part of the leakSMART®  system are wireless, waterproof and reusable leakSMART® Sensors that monitor both moisture and temperature and will signal your leakSMART® Hub at the first sign of a leak. These sensors are placed strategically throughout your home near appliances, plumbing fixtures and pipe seams.

What is the Hub? It — or another compatible smart home system hub — receives the signals from the leak sensors placed in your home and directs the leakSMART® Valve to immediately shut off your home’s water supply to eliminate the threat of water damage.

The leakSMART® Valve is an electronic and motorized brass ball valve that fits most residential main water lines in the U.S. This patented valve connects directly to your home’s main water supply. Professional installation of the leakSMART® Valve is strongly recommended for detecting water leaks and automatically shutting off the water.

Plus, leakSMART® lets you turn your water off from anywhere, 24/7, with their app so you’ll always know that your home and belongings are protected from water damage caused by leaks. The app is available for immediate download in the Google Play Store (Android) as well as the App Store. The leakSMART®app delivers instant notification when a leak is detected in your home that your water is subsequently shut off. Plus, it can alert you on your smart device if certain temperatures are reached or if batteries are running low. 

leakSMART® is the leading home water leak detection system that not only detects leaks, but also automatically shuts off the water as soon as a leak is detected. Now, that’s complete peace of mind.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Laundry Faucet?

Leaky water faucets may require an experienced plumber.  Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if your faucet needs attention, and this is especially the case with laundry faucets, which are built differently than the average system.
