Home security comes in all shapes and sizes. But here’s one you may not have previously considered – a whole-house water shut-off valve.
Water leaks are never to be taken lightly. Especially when you consider how much damage they can cause. Take a leak in your water heater storage tank that starts when no one’s home and doesn’t end until every drop of water has been drained.
At the very least, you’ll have quite a mess on your hands. If the problem occurs while you’re away on vacation, mold can become an issue. And, depending on where your storage tank is located, you also face the risk of property and structural damage.
To solve the problem, call a plumbing company you trust and ask them to install a whole-house water shut-off valve. Let’s say you have a multi-sensor system and a leak occurs under your kitchen sink. The nearest sensor will detect the leak and send a signal to the next one in line, and so on, until it reaches and shuts off your water main. That means almost no wasted water, no damage, and no clean-up headaches.
Better yet, your water shut-off valve with strategically placed sensors can be integrated with a home security system from Now Security Systems. That gives you one more way to protect your home, family, and personal possessions, even while you’re away.
