Sting Alarm installs smart water leak detection for Phoenix homes and businesses: wireless water sensors that alert your phone the moment they get wet, and a smart shutoff valve that can close your main water line automatically. It runs on the same panel and app as your security system, so a burst supply line or a failed water heater gets caught when it starts instead of when you get home. We serve Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert, Glendale, and Peoria. Call (602) 431-1300.

How smart water leak detection works

Water sensors

Small wireless sensors go wherever water tends to escape. When one detects water, it signals your security panel, which sends an alert to your phone. Good spots include:

  • Under kitchen and bathroom sinks
  • Next to the water heater and water softener
  • Behind the washing machine and dishwasher
  • Below the AC air handler and condensate line
  • Near the refrigerator ice maker line

Smart water shutoff valve

A motorized valve mounts on your main water supply line. You can open or close it from the app, and you can set rules so it closes on its own:

  • When any water sensor detects a leak
  • Whenever you arm the system in away mode
  • At times you choose, like when a vacation rental is empty

During your consultation we confirm how the valve fits your plumbing and whether a licensed plumber is needed for that step.

Water usage monitoring

The Smart Water Valve+Meter tracks how much water your home uses and flags unusual flow, from a burst pipe to a dripping faucet, so you can spot a problem even where you don't have a sensor.

Why Phoenix properties need it

  • Empty homes in summer. If you leave town for part of the Phoenix summer, a leak that starts the day you leave can run until you return, unless the system shuts the water off for you.
  • Rentals and second homes. You get the same alert and the same remote shutoff whether you are across town or out of state.
  • Commercial spaces. Restrooms, break rooms, and equipment rooms can leak overnight or over a weekend with nobody there to notice.
  • Your side of the meter. City of Phoenix Water Services says issues after the water meter are the homeowner's responsibility, so stopping a leak early is on you.

Signs you might already have a leak

Sensors catch new leaks. These signs point to one that is already happening:

  • A water bill spike without a matching change in how much water you use
  • Wet spots or puddles in the yard or near the foundation
  • Musty or mildew smells that don't clear with cleaning
  • The sound of running water when every tap is off

If you notice any of these, call a licensed plumber to locate and repair the leak. Phoenix water customers can also request a free residential water efficiency consultation from the city, which includes a meter read and inspection to help identify and isolate outdoor leaks. Once the repair is done, smart leak detection helps keep the next one small.

Part of one integrated system

Leak detection works best alongside the rest of your protection. The same panel and app handle your home security system, cameras, smoke and carbon monoxide sensors, and temperature alerts, so one company supports all of it. Sting Alarm is licensed in Arizona under ROC CR-16 #359059 and CR-67 #357917 and has protected homes since 2003.

★★★★☆ Excellent service Mike! Mike, the alarm technician was professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and courteous. He took the time to diagnose the problem, explain the solution, and make sure everything was working properly before leaving. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free. Thank you for the great service!

★★★★★ Isaac and Isaac from Sting were amazing!!! They showed up on time and even got the installation done before the quoted time. Isaac explained how the system worked in detailed and set up my cameras and doorbell without any issues. I would recommend Sting to anyone looking to upgrade their security system and ask for Isaac.

Frequently asked questions

How does smart water leak detection work?

Wireless water sensors sit where leaks usually start, such as under sinks and next to the water heater. When a sensor gets wet, it sends an alert to your phone through your security system. Add a smart shutoff valve on your main line and the system can close the water automatically.

Can the system shut off my water automatically?

Yes. With a smart shutoff valve, you can set a rule to close the main water supply when any water sensor detects a leak, or whenever the system is armed away. You can also open or close the valve from the app.

Do you find hidden leaks behind walls or under a slab?

No. Our system detects leaks as they happen and stops the water, but we are not a plumbing leak locating service. If you suspect a hidden leak, call a licensed plumber. Phoenix water customers can also request a free residential water efficiency consultation from the city, which includes a meter read to help isolate outdoor leaks.

Who is responsible for a leak at my Phoenix home?

According to City of Phoenix Water Services, issues from the street to the water meter are the city's responsibility, and issues after the water meter are the homeowner's.

Does leak detection work with my existing security system?

Water sensors and the shutoff valve connect to the same panel and app as your security system, so leak alerts arrive alongside your security and life safety alerts.
