LeakSmart Water Leak Detection and Prevention

Save Time, Call Prime!

Shut Off the Water…With Your Phone!

Water damage is the most common claim homeowners make to insurance companies. Just one burst pipe (which Prime Plumbing can fix!) can discharge as much as 15-20 gallons of water per minute into your home, causing lasting damage to your property, possessions, and your bank account.

What if there was a way to automatically detect a leak and then immediately shut off the water at its source? Well now there is. Home automation in plumbing has arrived! We have partnered with LeakSmart to provide our customers with the world’s most intelligent leak and flood protection available. LeakSmart offers a suite of whole home water protection and monitoring products that will detect a leak and shut off the water supply in less than 5 seconds. At the first sign of a leak, the LeakSmart sensor will sound an alarm and immediately shut off the main water supply.

Direct Appliance Shut-Off Kits

When attached, these devices can detect leaks and prevent damage. Kits are available for water heaters, washing machines, sinks, ice makers, dishwashers and refrigerators. Each kit includes a shut off valve, an easy-to read LED control panel, and a LeakSmart sensor. When a leak is detected, an audible alarm is sounded and the water to the appliance is shut off. The system can then be reset and reused. The control panel comes with a battery back up in case of a power outage and no internet connection is required.

Remote Home Monitoring

You can now protect your entire home by adding water sensors to high risk and hard-to-reach areas. Place them around washing machines, water heaters, bathrooms, kitchens and connect them via a LeakSmart Hub. Each Hub can handle up to 32 devices. When a leak is detected, it triggers an audible alarm and sends a notification (email, text, or push notification) via the Hub directly to you. Sensors and Hub come with a battery backup in case of a power outage

Whole Home Systems

A whole home system includes automatic shut-off valves, water sensors, and a Hub. The Hub is the central communication point between each sensor, valve, and you. Using this system, you can actually monitor the water flow rate and usage in your home allowing you to set limits and track daily, weekly, and monthly water usage! The system will work 24/7 with or without power and is controlled remotely through the LeakSmart App (Phone) or the LeakSmart Dashboard (Web). You are connected to your system anywhere in the world if you have connectivity. As an added perk, the LeakSmart Hub works with most home automation systems including Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Integration is quick and easy.

As an added bonus, all professionally installed LeakSmart systems are backed by a 5-year manufacturers warranty.

LeakSmart is also the perfect option for property owners to remotely monitor and protect their investment. Be it a rental home or vacation condo, LeakSmart provides the peace of mind complete 24/7 protection offers.

We think this tech is SERIOUSLY awesome. If you have any questions about LeakSmart, feel free to give us a call!

    Hayleigh did a wonderful job replacing the cartridges in my shower handles. She communicated clearly throughout the process, was very respectful, and completed the work in a timely manner.

    It was also especially comforting to have a female plumber in my home. Hayleigh was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience easy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her back for any future plumbing needs!

    We reached out, quite desperately, to Prime Plumbing after we lost confidence with another plumbing company we were working with. From our first contact with the person who answered the phone, we instantly felt reassured that Prime Plumbing could address the issue with our effluent pump. Corban arrived right when he said he would, and proved to be a knight in shining armor, taking in the entirety of our situation with a calm and professional demeanor and making a plan on how to best proceed. He reached out to Will, who also came to provide support and who proved a true expert and angel - his halo is pretty shiny. The two of them worked all day in a step-wise process to remedy the errors of the previous plumber and install two new pumps. Through the long hours, both were true professionals, always pleasant, patiently explaining things to us, being very respectful of our home, and getting the job done. We felt complete trust in their abilities and are extremely pleased with the work they did. And they are wonderful and kind people to boot. Thank you Corban and Will! Highly recommend!

    Corban and Will rock! They came out and fixed another plumber's mishap. They're our new forever plumber. I would not hesitate to hire their company for any plumbing job. They even recommended Shipp electric to do one electrical portion and that was a great recommendation. I truly recommend them and they're really nice people too. The back office staff was also very helpful and on point. If I could give them 10 Stars I would. We discussed all the options beforehand and then we made a plan and then they executed it flawlessly.

    A well deserved 5 stars! First I was impressed by the text message to inform me that my technician was on the way. It not only gave me his name and a photo, but also had a brief introduction and bio - nice touch! The technician arrived, explained the 5 point service evaluation he would provide. At first I was annoyed because I figured it was the typical upselling and I had specific issues (back-flow test and 2nd floor washing machine drain pan installed) I needed addressed immediately. However after the inspection I learned that my water heater pressure tanks had failed which could lead to a much larger issue. So in the end I was grateful for this service. All the work was performed efficiently with quality and care throughout. I couldn’t be happier! Paul is a true asset to your company. And I now have a trusted plumber I can count on.
