A smart shutoff valve is the difference between a leak you catch in seconds and one that floods the house for hours while you're at work or away. Smart plumbing controls install on the main line and continuously monitor flow, pressure, and temperature — when they see the signature of a leak or a burst, they alert your phone and can shut the water off automatically before the damage compounds. For a home that sits empty during the day, on vacation, or as a second property, it's the single most effective piece of water-damage protection you can add.
We install the leading systems — Flo by Moen and Phyn — on the main after the meter and PRV, and configure them for how your home actually uses water. The valve learns your normal patterns and flags the abnormal ones: a toilet that's been running for an hour, a supply line dripping overnight, or the sudden high flow of a burst. You get the alert on your phone with the option to shut off remotely, and the system can be set to close automatically when it detects a catastrophic flow across {city}.
Beyond the emergency shutoff, these systems earn their keep every day by surfacing the small leaks that quietly waste water and money — the running toilet, the weeping valve, the drip you'd never have found until the bill spiked. Many insurers offer a premium discount for a monitored automatic shutoff because it so reliably prevents large claims. We handle the plumbing tie-in, the electrical, and the app and Wi-Fi setup, and we walk you through the alerts so the {county} system is protecting the home before we leave {areas}.
Signs you need smart plumbing controls
The home sits empty during the day
A leak that starts while everyone's at work runs for hours unseen. An automatic shutoff catches it in seconds and closes the main before it floods the the United States home.
Old or failed heater swapped for a new one — sized right, hauled away.
A burst pipe in an empty house is a catastrophe measured in weeks of damage. Remote monitoring and auto-shutoff protect a vacation or second home across the United States when no one's there.
You've had water damage before
A past flood is the best predictor of the next one, and the cost of one claim dwarfs the system. Smart controls turn the next leak into a phone alert instead of a your area disaster.
Your insurer offers a discount
Many carriers discount premiums for a monitored automatic shutoff. The device can partly pay for itself while protecting the the United States home.
You want to catch small leaks early
Running toilets and slow drips waste water for months before you notice. Flow monitoring surfaces them immediately so a the United States homeowner fixes them small.
Common causes & what we fix
Unattended supply-line failures
Braided supply lines under sinks, toilets, and washers let go without warning and spray until someone closes the main. A smart valve shuts it automatically in the empty the United States home.
Burst pipes while away
A freeze or corrosion burst floods continuously until it's found, and an empty house means hours of damage. Auto-shutoff caps the flow the moment flow spikes across the United States.
Slow hidden leaks
A running toilet or a weeping fitting wastes water quietly and can feed hidden mildew. Flow monitoring flags the abnormal usage before it compounds in an your area home.
Water heater and appliance leaks
A failing water heater or a leaking dishwasher line dumps water where no one's watching. The system detects the flow and alerts or shuts off in the the United States home.
Pressure problems
A failing PRV or pressure spike stresses the whole system, and the monitor sees the pressure change before a fitting bursts. It's an early warning across the the United States plumbing.

Frequently asked about smart plumbing controls
Top questions homeowners searching for Smart Plumbing Controls near me ask us:
What does a smart shutoff valve actually do?
It installs on your main line and monitors flow, pressure, and temperature continuously. When it detects a leak or a burst, it alerts your phone and can shut the water off automatically — protecting the whole the United States home even when no one is there.
Which systems do you install?
We install Flo by Moen and Phyn, the leading whole-home monitoring and shutoff systems. We tie the valve into your main after the meter, wire it, and set up the app and Wi-Fi so it's monitoring your the United States home before we leave.
Will it lower my insurance?
Many carriers offer a premium discount for a monitored automatic water shutoff because it so reliably prevents large claims. Check with your insurer — the discount can offset part of the system's cost on an your area policy.
Can it shut the water off by itself?
Yes — you can set it to close the main automatically when it detects a catastrophic flow, like a burst pipe, and you can also shut off manually from the app anywhere. That automatic response is what limits damage in an empty the United States home.
Do I need Wi-Fi for it to work?
The system uses your home Wi-Fi to send alerts and allow remote control, and we set that up as part of the install. The automatic shutoff logic runs on the device itself, so it still protects the the United States home if Wi-Fi drops. We serve ZIPs .
