A leak can start when no one is home to see it. A small leak behind a wall, a burst hose, or a water heater failure can cause damage before you know there is a problem. Leak Secure is a whole-home water monitoring system designed to help detect potential leaks and give homeowners more control over their water supply.
Brothers Plumbing, Heating & Electric installs Leak Secure for homeowners who want added awareness of their plumbing system and the option to shut off water remotely. It is one more way to look after your home, alongside regular plumbing care and prompt repairs when something needs attention.
What Does Leak Secure Do?
A plumber installs the Leak Secure device on the home’s main water line. It monitors water flow around the clock and checks other conditions that can help identify a potential problem. The device connects to an app, where homeowners can review water information and receive alerts.
The system can also close the main water valve. Depending on your settings, that can happen automatically when certain conditions are detected, or you can use the app to shut off water remotely. Leak Secure gives you monitoring and shutoff options; it does not repair a leak or guarantee that water damage will never occur.
What Does the System Monitor?
Leak Secure uses sensors to track several parts of your home’s water system and environment. The app can show current conditions and water-use history, giving you useful information when something seems unusual.
- Water flow: Helps identify unexpected or continuous water use.
- Water pressure: Shows pressure readings and can alert you when they pass your configured limits.
- Temperature and humidity: Adds information that may help flag conditions associated with plumbing concerns.
- Water quality: Tracks total dissolved solids, or TDS, in the water.
Leak Secure also offers a scheduled Leak Test. The device briefly closes the valve and checks whether the plumbing system holds pressure, which can help reveal a possible leak. The test schedule and shutoff parameters can be adjusted to fit your household’s routines.
How Does Remote Shutoff Help?
If you receive an alert while you are away, the app lets you check the system and close the valve from your phone. You can also configure automatic shutoff settings for certain conditions. That added control can be helpful during a vacation, a workday, or overnight, when a leak may otherwise go unnoticed.
Before choosing automatic settings, consider how your household uses water. Irrigation, appliances, and other normal activity can affect flow, so settings should account for your home’s routines. A plumber can help with installation and explain how to use the system, while you decide which alerts and shutoff options make sense for your household.
What Leak Secure Can and Cannot Do
Leak Secure is designed to help you notice potential issues sooner and respond more quickly. It can monitor water use, send notifications, run a Leak Test, and provide remote or automatic shutoff based on the system’s configuration.
- It can help identify unusual water activity through flow monitoring and alerts.
- It can give you remote control of the main water shutoff valve through the app.
- It does not locate or repair every plumbing problem. A plumber may still need to inspect and diagnose an issue.
- It is not a substitute for home maintenance. Check visible plumbing and address leaks or damage when you find them.
As with any connected system, the app and remote features depend on the device being properly installed and connected. Keep your contact information and settings current, and respond to alerts by checking the situation or contacting a plumber when needed.
