LeakSecure Whole-Home Leak Detector with Auto Shutoff: What Arizona Homeowners Should Know
LeakSecure is a whole-home leak detection and automatic shutoff device made by Notation Labs, based in Scottsdale. It goes on your home's main water line. It watches flow, pressure, and temperature, and it can close the valve automatically according to rules you set, or on demand from its app.
What it does
- Automatic shutoff: closes the main valve when water use goes outside your configured thresholds. The company says it's designed to shut off for a burst pipe, not a long shower.
- Scheduled leak test: overnight, it closes the valve and checks whether your plumbing holds pressure. This catches slow, hidden leaks.
- Alerts: app notifications for flow events, high water pressure, and TDS (total dissolved solids), which matters with Arizona's mineral-heavy water.
- Remote control: shut off your water from anywhere, which helps for vacations and snowbird homes.
Why it matters
LeakSecure cites Insurance Information Institute data: about 1 in 60 insured homes has a water damage or freezing claim each year, and the average claim from 2019 to 2023 was about $15,400. A failed water heater or supply hose can do a lot of damage before anyone notices.
Installation
LeakSecure is installed on the main water line by a licensed plumber. A typical install takes about an hour. LeakSecure coordinates professional installation through its own installer network. You can check your ZIP code at leaksecure.com.
Cost
According to Dominick Plumbing, LeakSecure typically runs about $1,400–$2,200 installed. Your price depends on your main-line setup and pipe size, so get a quote for your home.
Is it worth it?
It makes the most sense if you're away from home often, have a second home, or have a water heater or fixtures in finished spaces. Ask your homeowners insurer whether it offers a discount for leak-shutoff devices.
