In previous blogs, we’ve covered the topic of water leaks, and how to react whether you can see one firsthand or, on the other hand, should you spot signs inside or outside your home indicating the probability of a water leak – signs like the sudden appearance of mold, wet spots on a wall or ceiling, or a spongy area on your lawn.
But what about those leaks that occur while you’re away from home even if just for a few hours or an entire workday and no one’s left behind to take your place? Or maybe you own a vacation home you visit periodically and don’t always turn off the water main supply? And let’s not forget rental property owners…you have no idea, usually, when a tenant goes away for a week or a weekend, during which time a water leak is free to flow unobstructed.
What do all such situations have in common? First, you want to prevent them. And why? Because if left unchecked, even for a day, a water leak can wreak havoc with your home and personal belongings.
Is there a good news part of this story? There is when you contact Messmer Mechanical for assistance.
Automatic Water Shut-Off Valve
While there are numerous brands of automatic shut-off valves on the market, Messmer recommends and installs Water Cop above all others. Here is how they work:
- We can install as many or as few sensors as you like, such as under your washing machine, refrigerator, inside your bathroom, and anywhere else water pipes and fixtures are installed.
- Should an appliance, faucet, or pipe with a nearby sensor suddenly spring a leak, the sensor’s built in antenna will send a signal to your Water Cop valve which will immediately shut off your home’s main water valve.
- Plus, each sensor has a built-in alarm alerting you to the leak should you be at home.
- Water Cop valves also come with an app you can access from anywhere, provided there’s a Wi-Fi connection.
Think of Water Cop this way. As in, it’s a true cop – or security guard if you prefer – that’s on the job 24/7 to help protect your home and valuables from damage and even destruction.
So, if you want all the odds on your side, contact Messmer Mechanical today and ask for a free Water Cop installation proposal.
