Smart Water Shutoff Installation in La Jolla

Say you're at work or out of town, and the hose behind your washing machine splits. Instead of coming back to a wet floor, you get a notification on your cell phone that water is running where it shouldn't be. The device can turn the water off by itself, or you can shut it off with one tap in the app. You can check on your water from the app while you're away, and a small leak is more likely to be caught early.

Which unit fits your home depends on the size of your water line, your water pressure, where the line comes into the house, and whether there's a good spot with power and WiFi.

Many La Jolla homes have stone floors, custom cabinets and finished walls that hide most of the plumbing. Some homes in La Jolla Shores, Bird Rock and the Village sit empty for part of the year. A leak behind a wall can go unnoticed until you see water on the stone floor or under the cabinets. A smart shutoff alerts your cell phone and can turn off your water, whether you're home or not.

A smart shutoff does the most good in a La Jolla home that sits empty part of the time. That might be a house everyone leaves for work all day, a place that gets rented out between stays, or a vacation home closed up for months, and it includes any home with a water heater or washing machine hoses that are getting on in years. In any of those, a small leak can run for days before anyone sees it. A shutoff that alerts your cell phone and can turn off your water on its own catches it early, from wherever you are.
