What would happen if you were away from your home for a few days and major water leak occurred? Unfortunately, this can happen, causing thousands of dollars in water damage and replacement costs. It is estimated that 2.5 million homeowners are victim to preventable flood damage from water leaks, causing billions of dollars in repairs. Although some damages may be covered by insurance, you may lose precious items like photos that cannot be replaced. A home automatic water shut-off system can prevent this from happening to you.
How Automatic Water Shut-Off Systems Work
With advanced technology, automatic water shut-off systems are very effective in preventing flooding from water leaks. These systems use strategically placed sensors throughout the home to detect water leaks, then shut off the water supply before major damage can occur. This is extremely beneficial to any homeowner that is often away from the home, giving them peace of mind while they are away.
Many of the new systems use wireless technology to send signals from the sensors to the automatic shut-off valves. These systems can often be incorporated into home automation systems, allowing homeowners to be notified by computer or smart phone when there is a water leak in their home. This is a major breakthrough in preventing extensive water damage and is a worthwhile investment into protecting your valuables.
Talk to your local plumber about the installation of an automatic water shut-off system in your home. In some cases, you may even qualify for a discount off your home insurance once the system is installed. It is the best way to protect your home from interior water damage from unexpected leaks.
