Automatic Water Shutoff Systems2025-11-04T16:02:16+00:00

Protect Your Home From Leaks and Safeguard Your Home Insurance Coverage

Water damage is a common and expensive problem for Bay Area homeowners. That’s why more insurance providers now require devices like automatic water shutoff systems.

It pays to be proactive. Prevent disaster and keep your coverage intact by trusting Caccia Home Services to install your system today.

How Automatic Water Shutoff Systems Protect Your Home and Coverage

Insurance companies know that a single burst pipe can cause irreparable damage in just a few minutes. Having an auto water shutoff valve shows them you take this risk seriously. In fact, some providers no longer sell or renew policies for homes that don’t have them.

But these systems also have other benefits. Here’s why many Bay Area homeowners choose to install them before they’re forced to:

  • Stop major leaks before serious damage
  • Maintain insurance coverage
  • Possibly qualify for insurance discounts
  • Monitor your home 24/7
  • Automatically shut off water when leaks are detected
  • Lower repair costs and mold risk
  • Enjoy peace of mind when away from home

Which System Is Right for Your Home?

Caccia professionally installs two trusted options:

Flo by Moen Leak Defense System
What It Does Monitors water flow and pressure through the main line Uses multiple moisture sensors near appliances and risk zones
How It Works Automatically closes the main valve when usage appears abnormal Shuts off water when any connected sensor detects moisture
Best For Homeowners who want app alerts and remote control Larger or older homes needing room-by-room protection

Why Professional Installation Matters

An automatic water shutoff valve only works if:

  • It’s compatible with your pipes
  • It has access to power
  • The installation is code-compliant and properly permitted

Our licensed plumbers and electricians ensure:

  • Correct placement on your main line
  • Clean, leak-free connections
  • Wi-Fi and electrical setup (for Moen Flo systems)
  • All required permits are pulled

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an automatic water shutoff system lower my insurance premiums?2025-10-17T04:18:05+00:00

It depends on your provider. But even if they don’t offer a discount for installing an automatic water shutoff system, keeping your current coverage is almost always more cost-effective than losing it and having to start over with a new company. Since many insurers require smart shutoff valves to maintain coverage, installing one now can help you avoid premium increases or policy cancellations in the future.

Should I choose the Flo by Moen Smart Water Shutoff or the Leak Defense System?2025-10-17T04:20:00+00:00

Choose Flo by Moen if you want one smart valve on your main water line that handles leak detection and shutoff automatically through the app.

Choose Leak Defense if your home has multiple potential leak spots and you’d rather place sensors around high-risk areas instead of relying on flow monitoring.

Not sure? Caccia installs both, so we’ll evaluate your setup and tell you which one makes the most sense.

What happens if the system shuts my water off by mistake?2025-10-17T04:21:38+00:00

Both systems allow you to manually reopen the valve or override the shutoff via app or control panel. False activations decrease over time as the system learns your usage.

Do I need Wi-Fi for a smart water shut off?2025-10-17T04:22:11+00:00

Moen Flo requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to send alerts and function properly. Leak Defense can operate without Wi-Fi if paired with wired sensors, but remote access features require internet.

Can you install the electrical outlet if I don’t have one nearby?2025-10-17T04:23:10+00:00

Yes. Our licensed electricians can also install a dedicated grounded outlet to support your automatic water shutoff system if necessary. We’ll let you know if you need this during our initial consultation.

How fast can Caccia install one of these systems on my property?2025-10-17T04:23:44+00:00

Most installations take just a few hours once the correct valve size is confirmed. Permitting (if required) may add time, but we handle that for you.
