Smart Water Shutoff Installation in San Diego

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 wherever you are, and a small leak has a better chance of getting 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.

San Diego has every kind of home, from the older Craftsman houses in North Park and South Park to the condos and townhomes around Mission Valley and Pacific Beach. In an older house, some of the supply lines and fixtures may have been there for decades. In a condo or townhome, a leak doesn't always stay in your unit. In a house or a condo, a smart shutoff can alert your cell phone to a leak you might not spot on your own.

A smart shutoff does the most good in a San Diego 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.
