Professional Automatic Water Shutoff Valves Across BC
Automatic water shutoff valves are motorized valves installed on the main water supply that close automatically when a leak is detected by the monitoring system. This protection is critical for preventing catastrophic water damage in unoccupied buildings, vacation properties, and rental units. The valve operates on both mains power and battery backup, ensuring function during power failures. Advanced systems can also shut off water when abnormal flow is detected — such as a running toilet or broken pipe — and can be controlled remotely via smartphone. Some systems feature automated water allowance, keeping water off until occupants are detected in the building.
