A leak alert tells you. A shutoff automation buys you time.

Water Leak Detector Alerts With Automatic Water Shutoff

Start with a sensor that warns you. Add a plumber-installed motorized valve when you want the property to stop the water before you can get there.

Why it matters

A remote water leak detector should do more than beep

At a distant or empty property, every minute between detection and shutoff can increase damage. A phone alert matters—but it still leaves you searching for someone who can reach the main valve.

Detect at the source

Place sensors near water heaters, sinks, pumps, laundry, basements, and vulnerable pipes.

Close the main line

Have a plumber install a CHIRP-controllable motorized shutoff where it can protect the property.

Escalate failure

If the valve is offline or does not confirm, send a separate urgent alert.

From alert to outcome

Turn water leak detection into a verified response

When the sensor finds water, CHIRP can tell the main valve to close, check whether the valve reports closed, and send a critical phone alert that explains whether the action succeeded.

You explain the problem. CHIRP helps set up the protection.

Describe the property problem in everyday language—even if you have not bought a sensor yet. CHIRP can recommend what to buy, check whether a specific model will work, guide the setup, and prepare the response for your approval.

If either kitchen leak sensor gets wet, close the main valve. Alert me if it closes and send a more urgent alert if it does not.
CHIRP AII prepared both water sensors, the automatic shutoff, and an urgent alert if the valve does not close. Please confirm the valve is professionally installed and review the test.

What this means for you

Start with an alert. Add automatic shutoff when you are ready.

A leak sensor can warn you on its own. Add a motorized valve when you want CHIRP to close the water automatically and tell you whether it worked.

Automatic shutoff can reduce exposure but cannot guarantee prevention of water damage. Plumbing work should be performed by a qualified professional.

Water Leak Detector Alerts With Automatic Water Shutoff FAQ

Do I need a shutoff valve to use a leak sensor?

No. Start with alert-only detection. Add a controllable valve later if you want an automatic response.

What if the valve does not close?

CHIRP can send a critical alert so you know the property still needs immediate attention.
