If you have a plumbing leak, repairing the pipe itself may not be the most expensive part of the restoration. Water damage can compromise wood furniture, carpets, drywall, electronics, and a range of other belongings. It can also bring mold. Thankfully, with the right plumbing and well supplies, you can prevent these issues. Here’s an overview of the high-tech LeakSmart® system, which prevents leaks from causing water damage.

What Is LeakSmart®?

This is a smart home system that detects leaks in the most vulnerable areas of your home, like the bathroom and kitchen. You install small sensors in the plumbing of these areas, and place a smart valve on your water main or well supply line. An electronic hub will control the system from inside your home.

Whenever a sensor detects a leak, it will send a signal that turns off the water, preventing waste and water damage. The system will also send an alert to your phone whenever this happens.

Why Choose LeakSmart®?

Using this system is much more effective and convenient than shutting off your water main or well supply manually. The response time is under five seconds, which minimizes waste.

The unit can also be equipped with additional features, such as a water usage monitoring system that helps you track how much you use. The device integrates with other smart home equipment, and includes a backup that keeps your leak protection online even during storms that cause power outages.
