Emergency Water Shut-Off Devices to Protect Frisco Homes

The worst type of leak is one you don’t see—or one that comes on so suddenly it’s hard to avoid catastrophe. Whether it’s coming from behind the walls or a malfunctioning appliance, a hidden or intense leak can rapidly wreak havoc on your home, releasing hundreds of gallons of water an hour. Thankfully, there is a way to stop water at the source the moment moisture is detected, saving your belongings, your property, and your wallet.

Emergency water shut-offs are valves that are designed to activate automatically in the case of an emergency. From basic valves triggered by moisture to app-based Smart Home versions that integrate with your home’s water supply, let Earl’s Plumbing set you up with the ideal home safety and preventative loss mitigation solution!

At Earl’s Plumbing, we supply and strongly recommend a product called Flood Stop. This point-of-use, moisture-activated shutoff valve terminates the water flow immediately upon sensing any moisture while also producing an audible alarm. These devices are incredibly sensitive, long-lasting, and highly suggested if your water heater (tank or tankless) is above a living area. Flood Stop makes other products for washing machines, dishwashers, and other leak-prone areas.

We have also installed smart whole-home flow monitoring systems like the Moen Flo. If you’re a frequent out-of-town traveler or a dual-income family away from the house most of the day, this type of system is one to consider. WiFi-enabled and app-based, this monitoring system learns your habits and alerts you when it detects a leak or changes in your home’s water usage.
