Prevent Water Disasters with Automatic Water Valve Shutoff Systems

Claims related to water damage can damage both your property and your access to favorable insurance rates.  According to the Insurance Information Institute, water damage accounts for an average of 20% of property insurance claims. This can lead to significant financial losses, both in terms of repair costs and lost productivity.

Automatic water valve shutoff systems can help to prevent water damage by automatically shutting off the water supply when a leak is detected.

This can help to minimize the amount of damage caused by a leak and can also help to prevent mold growth, which can be a health hazard for employees.

Several companies offer automatic water valve shutoff systems to commercial customers. Here are a few of the most well-known:

FloLogic: FloLogic is a popular option for commercial leak detection and automatic shutoff systems. Brotherhood Mutual® recommends FloLogic, a comprehensive solution that can detect even the smallest water leak and automatically shut off the water to prevent flooding. This system is available at a discount to Brotherhood Mutual Customers to help protect ministries from experiencing costly water damage and disruptions.

Leak Defense: 

The Leak Defense System is a water leak detection and prevention system specifically designed for commercial buildings. It works by constantly monitoring water flow and can automatically shut off the water supply to a specific zone or the entire building when it detects a leak. This helps prevent extensive water damage from both obvious and hidden leaks. The system can be monitored and controlled remotely via a mobile app or locally through an on-site control panel.

Water Hero: Water Hero is a popular choice for commercial properties of all sizes. Their system uses a flow sensor, shut-off valves, and a traditional water meter to monitor water usage and detect leaks. Water Hero also offers real-time water usage data and mobile app alerts.
