Water Shut-Off Valves -
An Essential Protection Tool
Every year insurance companies pay out millions of dollars in water damage claims.
The same damages also cost homeowners millions in deductibles and increased premiums - not to mention the hassle of dealing with repairs and potentially losing priceless family heirlooms.
Detecting leaks is essential to protecting your home and savings. In-line smart water security devices detect leaks immediately and automatically shut off the home’s water to prevent catastrophic damage.

Know the Differences
There are two basic categories of water shut-off systems: whole-house systems and point-of-use systems.
While both can prevent water damage, only a whole-house system generally qualifies for a premium credit on your homeowner's insurance.
POINT-OF-USE SYSTEMS
Point-of-use systems are designed to monitor and shut off the water to a single water source. Premium credits are not usually available for these kinds of systems.
WHOLE HOUSE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF SYSTEMS
Whole-house automatic water shut-off systems prevent leaks through either time/flow-based or sensor-based technology. Each can be tailored to match a homeowner's needs, lifestyle, and usage patterns.
