With San Francisco's high water pressure and aging infrastructure, your home is at elevated risk for water damage. We install smart water shutoff systems — now required by many insurers including State Farm — to automatically protect your property 24/7.
SF's hilly terrain forces the city to pump water at extreme pressures to reach upper elevations. Homes at the bottom of a hill experience even more pressure from gravity. This constant high pressure wears out gaskets, seals, and supply lines far faster than in other cities.
Ideal: 65 PSI · What we find in SF: 130-140 PSI
SF is always under construction. Water main replacements, sewer lateral work, and street construction are ongoing in every neighborhood. Each project creates vibrations that loosen old pipe fittings and can cause temporary pressure spikes that threaten every fitting and appliance in your home.
We find leaks caused by vibration and pressure spikes
State Farm and other major insurers are now mandating smart leak detection devices in many SF zip codes. Failure to install one when required can result in policy non-renewal — a risk that far outweighs the cost of installation.
$1,500–$2,000 installed vs. tens of thousands in water damage
The device installs on your main water service line where it enters your home. It monitors water flow 24/7, building a baseline pattern for your household. When it detects flow that doesn't match normal usage — like a slow drip that runs all day or a burst pipe — it automatically shuts off water to the entire house and sends you an instant smartphone alert. You remain in control via the app from wherever you are.
What to know before and after your installation.
If State Farm or another insurer has flagged your policy, don't wait until your renewal date. We can typically schedule within a week and complete the job in half a day.
A leak device protects you from the effects of high pressure, but a PRV fixes the cause. Ask us about pressure testing your home when we come to install — it's a quick add-on that could save your appliances.
Set an away mode in the device's app. This adjusts the leak detection sensitivity to catch even minor anomalies when no one is home — the highest level of protection when you need it most.
Don't wait for a leak to happen. We provide complete installation and setup of smart leak detection systems that satisfy insurance requirements and protect your property 24/7.
