A smart water leak detector catches a leak the moment water reaches the sensor and alerts you on your phone, so a burst pipe becomes a cleanup instead of a remodel. Add water management and the system can automatically shut off your home's water when a leak is detected, even if you are away. Sting Alarm installs and monitors water leak detection with automatic shutoff for homes and businesses in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Water spraying from a burst copper pipe with text: Leak Alert! Smart Water Detector Saves Property

How a leak plays out with and without a detector

Picture a hot Las Vegas summer afternoon. The air conditioning has been running nonstop, and a supply line behind the washing machine gives way while the homeowner is at work.

Without a detector, water runs for hours. By the time anyone gets home, it has soaked flooring, drywall, cabinets, and furniture, and the cleanup and repairs can take weeks.

With a smart water leak detector, the sensor behind the washer detects water within moments and sends an alert to the homeowner's phone through the security app. If the home has water management, a shutoff valve on the main line closes automatically, so the water stops even before anyone reacts. The homeowner calls a plumber to repair the line, and the damage is limited to a small area.

What a smart leak detection system includes

  • Water leak sensors near the places leaks start: water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, sinks, toilets, and ice maker lines.
  • Monitoring and app alerts through your smart home security system, so you know about a leak whether you are home or not.
  • Water management with automatic shutoff, a valve that turns off the water supply when a leak is detected.
  • Automation rules, such as turning off the HVAC fan when a leak is detected to help limit humidity spread.

Why it matters in the desert

Homes in Las Vegas and Phoenix often sit empty during long summer trips, and many have water heaters and laundry in garages or interior closets where a slow leak can go unnoticed. Early detection and automatic shutoff protect the home when no one is there to see the water. Every water drop saved also matters in a desert city.

What leak detection does not do

Sting Alarm does not locate hidden plumbing leaks or repair pipes. Our system detects water where sensors are placed and can shut off the supply. For repairs, contact a licensed plumber.

Frequently asked questions

How does a smart water leak detector work?

A water sensor placed near a likely leak source, such as a water heater, washing machine, or sink, detects water and sends an alert through your security system to your phone. With water management added, a valve can shut off the home's water automatically when a leak is detected.

Where should I put water leak sensors?

Common spots include under sinks, beside the water heater, behind the washing machine and dishwasher, near the refrigerator ice maker line, and in any room where pipes run through a wall you cannot see.

Does Sting Alarm find or fix plumbing leaks?

No. Sting Alarm installs and monitors water leak sensors and automatic water shutoff. If a pipe needs repair, you will still need a licensed plumber.
