Smart Water Leak Detection in Las Vegas
Smart water leak detection for Las Vegas homes: water sensors, a smart shut-off valve and meter, phone alerts, and automatic water shut-off. Free quote.
Sting Alarm's water management solution detects leaks in your Las Vegas home and can shut off the water automatically before they cause serious damage. Water sensors and a smart water valve and meter connect to your security system, send leak alerts to your phone, and let you open or close your main water valve from anywhere. It adds another layer of protection to your home security system.
Avoid disaster with smart water management
A burst pipe or a slow leak under a sink can do a lot of damage before anyone notices. Sting Alarm's water management combines smart leak detection with responsive automation. Monitor water sensors and valves placed throughout your home, get an alert the moment water shows up where it should not be, and let the system shut off the water for you.
The system can also monitor sump pump activity and notify you when a sump pump is not running or the water level gets too high.
Smart Water Valve+Meter
The Smart Water Valve+Meter monitors your home's water usage and helps detect leaks, from a burst pipe to a dripping faucet. Set up rules to shut off your main water supply automatically when a leak is detected by the Smart Water Valve+Meter or by a Sting Alarm water sensor (sold separately, not required). See your water consumption in the app and take action to lower your water use.
What it does
- Whole-home water leak detection
- Water consumption monitoring
- Automatic damage prevention
- Open and close your water valve remotely
How water valve management works
Sting Alarm's water management works by combining a Z-Wave water valve with wireless RF water sensors to detect floods and leaks and automatically shut off the home's water supply. The Z-Wave water valve is installed by a certified plumber and enrolls into any compatible Z-Wave network, including your Sting Alarm smart security panel.
Features
- Instant alerts for water leaks
- Remote control of the water main
- Z-Wave S2 security protocol
- Automatic water shut-off events
Water management use cases
With our water management solution, you can open and close your water valve from the mobile app and create rules to protect your property. For example:
- Shut off the water valve when a water leak is detected.
- Shut off the water valve automatically whenever your alarm panel is armed away.
- Get an alert when water usage is higher than normal, which can point to a running toilet or a hidden leak.
- Monitor your sump pump and get alerts.
Flood sensors and water leak detection
Flood sensors are one of the most useful upgrades for any property. Whether you want remote control in the event of a flood or a better handle on your water consumption, they make it simple. Flood sensors work with the rest of your home security system, so you have one app for your motion detectors, smart home cameras, smart locks, and automations based on your location or a schedule.
Leak sensors are commonly placed:
- Next to the water heater
- Behind the washing machine and dishwasher
- Under kitchen and bathroom sinks
- Behind the refrigerator
- In utility rooms and near the water main
Requirements and limitations
The water valve uses Z-Wave, so it has the same range limitations as any other Z-Wave device. Water mains and pipes are often located in walls or tucked away, so Z-Wave range matters when planning the installation. The Water Valve+Meter also uses AC power and needs to be located within reach of an AC power source.
- AC power required
- Certified plumber installation
- Limited to Z-Wave range
- Indoor use only, within the device's operating temperature and humidity range

4.9 stars from 1,166 Google reviews★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ Sting Alarm has been great to work with. Had an issue that needed a field tech to come out. Mike was dispatched and worked on the issue - quickly identifying the issue and resolving it for me. Friendly and great service!
★★★★★ From the beginning, Sting Alarm has been so easy to work with. From Jeff in Sales, to scheduling, and finally when our tech came out in a Saturday for the installation, everything was seamless. Our tech Isaac was fantastic. He was neat and cleaned up after the installation, and took time with me and my husband to get us set up on the app. He was patient, walking us through all the features.… Read on Google
Frequently asked questions
What does a smart water leak detection system do?
It watches for leaks and abnormal water use and alerts you on your phone. With a smart shut-off valve, it can also close your main water supply automatically when a leak is detected, and it can track your water consumption.
Where should water leak sensors be installed?
Common spots are near the water heater, washing machine, sinks, dishwasher, refrigerator, and in utility rooms, anywhere plumbing can leak. We recommend placement based on your home's layout.
Can the system shut off my water automatically?
Yes. You can set a rule to close the smart water valve when a leak is detected by the valve or by a water sensor, or whenever the security system is armed away.
Is leak detection useful for vacation or second homes?
Yes. Remote alerts, remote valve control, and automatic shut-off are especially useful in homes that sit empty for weeks at a time, so a leak can be stopped even when nobody is there.
Can you add leak detection to my existing Sting Alarm system?
In many cases, yes. Water sensors and the smart valve can usually be added to an existing Sting Alarm security or smart home system, depending on the equipment already installed.
Are there installation requirements for the smart water valve?
Yes. The valve uses Z-Wave, so it needs to be within Z-Wave range of your system. It needs AC power nearby, is for indoor use only, and is installed by a certified plumber.
