A whole-home leak detection system is an insurance policy you install on the pipe. The device goes on the main supply line where water enters the house, usually after the main shutoff and pressure regulator, and monitors every gallon that passes. It learns what normal looks like for your household and flags flow that does not fit: a burst line pouring water, a toilet running for hours, or a small continuous draw that can point to a hidden leak. Depending on the model and settings, it alerts your phone and closes its valve automatically.
The benefit is greatest where a failure could run unnoticed. Homes that sit empty for weeks, owners who travel, rentals and second homes, and houses with aging copper, polybutylene or a past slab leak all gain the most. In a home where someone is around most of the day, the case is weaker, and we will say so. A system is not a repair and does not replace maintenance - it limits damage when something fails. It can also prompt a check when it reports continuous flow, which is when Electronic Leak Detection or Slab Leak Detection & Repair takes over.
We confirm the main line size and location, install the device with the right fittings, connect power and Wi-Fi, and set thresholds so long irrigation or pool fills do not cause nuisance shutoffs. You get a written price before work starts. Call (702) 438-3357 to plan an installation.
