With San Francisco's fluctuating water pressure and aging infrastructure, your home is at a higher risk of leaks. We install smart water shutoff devices—now required by many insurers like State Farm—to automatically protect your property from costly water damage.
San Francisco's hilly terrain and ongoing infrastructure work mean water pressure can spike to dangerous levels without warning.
Ideal water pressure: 65 PSI
Maximum safe pressure: 80 PSI
What we often see in SF: 130-140 PSI
This constant high pressure wears out pipes, gaskets, and fixtures, making leaks almost inevitable. A smart leak detector isn't just a good idea in San Francisco—it's essential protection.
This device installs on your home's main water line. It monitors water flow 24/7 and uses smart algorithms to detect abnormal patterns—like a burst pipe or a running toilet. If it detects a leak, it automatically shuts off the water to your entire home, preventing major flood damage.
We install the device on your main water service line, typically in the garage or where the water enters your home. This ensures it can stop a leak anywhere in the house.
Insurers like State Farm are mandating these devices in many SF zip codes. Don't risk losing your policy.
A smart shutoff stops a small leak from becoming a flooded house, saving you tens of thousands in repairs to your floors, walls, and foundation.
Whether you're at work or on vacation, you'll know your home is protected. If a pipe bursts, the water shuts off instantly.
