Enhance Home Safety with Water Management and Smart Water Leak Detection

Smart water leak detection uses wireless water sensors and a smart water valve and meter, tied into your home security system, to catch leaks early. When a sensor gets wet or the meter sees water running that should not be, you get an alert on your phone, and the valve can shut off your main water supply automatically. Sting Alarm installs these systems for homes in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Your plumbing works quietly behind walls and under cabinets, which is exactly why small leaks go unnoticed until they turn into ruined floors and drywall. Water management turns that blind spot into something you can see and control.

Spot hidden leaks with wireless sensors

Small wireless sensors sit in the places leaks usually start: behind the washing machine, under sinks, beside the water heater, and near other appliances that use water. When a sensor detects moisture, it sends an alert through your security system so you can act before the damage spreads.

Find the leaks that raise your water bill

The smart water valve and meter also watches how much water your home uses. That helps you catch the slow, steady losses that never leave a puddle, such as a running toilet or a dripping fixture. According to the EPA's WaterSense program, the average household's leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons of water a year (EPA WaterSense, Fix a Leak Week, checked 2026).

It can also flag unusually high use at a rental or second home you manage, and low-temperature alerts warn you when pipes are at risk of freezing in winter.

Responses that match whether you are home or away

Because the valve works with your security system, it knows whether the house is occupied:

• You are home: a long shower or a running hose triggers an alert, and the water stays on.
• You are away: water running with nobody home can trigger an automatic shut-off, so a slow leak does not run for days.
• System armed away: you can set a rule to close the valve every time you arm the system and leave.

Control it all from one app

Once installed, the valve, sensors, and alerts live in the same app as your security system, smart locks, thermostat, and security cameras. You can open or close the valve from your phone, check water use, and adjust rules in one place.

One important line: this is detection and shut-off, not plumbing. Sting Alarm does not locate or repair leaking pipes. When the system catches a leak, it stops the water and tells you, and a plumber handles the repair.
