Advanced Whole-Home Water Leak Protection

Most homeowners are vigilant in protecting their homes from theft and fire damage, installing security cameras, smoke alarms, and outdoor lighting as high priorities. Meanwhile, flood damage from indoor plumbing issues like burst pipes remains a highly overlooked and unaddressed concern. In fact, according to recent and historical data, approximately 1 in 50 homeowners will face water damage annually, costing over $15,000 on the average insurance claim!

Water damage costs homeowners more money annually than any other kind of damage, including fire and theft. A burst pipe can release as much as 15 to 20 gallons of water into your home per minute, causing very expensive damage in just a matter of minutes. With so many different plumbing fixtures and appliances in your home, having a whole-house system designed to detect leaks and automatically shut off your water can be a very wise investment, potentially saving you thousands of dollars of loss and repairs.
