Residential Leak Detection System
Stop the Leak in Seconds, Not Weeks
PipeBurst Pro leak detection, installed by a licensed Florida contractor. Sensors find water where it should not be and shut off your main line automatically, whether you are home or a thousand miles north.
How PipeBurst Pro Works
Sensors Where Leaks Start
Small water sensors sit on the floor beside the fixtures that fail most often. When water touches a sensor, it signals the control panel within seconds.
Automatic Main Line Shutoff
We install a stainless steel shutoff valve on your home’s main water line. When a sensor trips, the valve closes and cuts water to the whole house. A burst pipe that would have flowed all afternoon becomes a towel-sized cleanup.
Alerts Wherever You Are
The system sends a text, email, or phone call when it detects a leak, so you know what happened and that the water is already off.
Manual Override
Every valve has a manual lever. If you need water back on before a repair, you or your plumber can open it by hand.
Where Leaks Start in a Florida Home
We place sensors based on your home’s layout, but most installations cover the same short list:
Water heaters
Fail without warning as the tank ages
Washing machine supply hoses
One of the most common sources of residential water claims
Kitchen and bathroom sinks
Supply lines and drain fittings loosen over time
Toilet supply lines
Especially the plastic connectors on older fixtures
Refrigerator and ice maker lines
AC air handlers and condensate lines
Back up in Florida humidity and often sit in a closet or attic above finished space
For Homes That Sit Empty Half the Year
Plenty of Southwest Florida homes stand empty from May through October. That is the worst time for a leak to start, because no one is there to find it. A supply line that fails in June can soak subfloors, drywall, and cabinetry for months, and the mold that follows in this climate turns a plumbing repair into a renovation.
Automatic shutoff keeps that from happening. The valve closes within seconds, the alert reaches your phone up north, and you decide what happens next from wherever you are. Pair the system with our Concierge Program and someone local can go look at the house.

Condo Owners Carry the Unit Below
In a condo, a leak seldom stops at your own floor. Water moves down through ceilings and walls into the home beneath yours, and the repair bill often follows the source. Many associations now encourage or require leak protection for that reason.
PipeBurst Pro fits condo units as well as single-family homes. We coordinate with your association on access, work hours, and any approval it asks owners to file.

Protection From Every Direction
Flood barriers and Storm Armour stop storm surge and rising water at your doors. Leak detection catches the water that starts inside the house, from pipes, hoses, and appliances.
Most homeowners we work with want both, and we install both from a single assessment.
Prevention Costs Less Than the Rebuild
Emerald Green started as a contracting company, and much of that early work was rebuilding Southwest Florida homes after water got in. We pulled out soaked drywall and swollen cabinets for years. That is why we install leak detection: it costs a fraction of the rebuild it prevents.
Licensed, Insured, and Easy to Verify
A leak detection valve goes on your main water line. That is plumbing work, and it should be done by a licensed contractor who carries insurance.
Emerald Green holds Florida licenses CRC1334485, Certified Residential Contractor, and CGC1538211, Certified General Contractor. We have completed more than 700 flood protection installations across Florida. You can verify both licenses at myfloridalicense.com in about thirty seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to prevent water damage in my home?
Automatic leak detection with a main line shutoff valve. Sensors catch water at the fixtures most likely to fail, and the valve stops the flow before the damage spreads. Regular maintenance on hoses, water heaters, and AC drain lines helps too, but maintenance cannot react at 2 a.m.
How fast does the valve shut off the water?
Within seconds of a sensor detecting water.
Will I know if the system shuts my water off?
Yes. You get a text, email, or phone call telling you the water is off and why.
Does it work while I am out of state?
Yes, and that is when it matters most. The valve closes on its own whether or not anyone is in the house.
Can you install it in a condo?
Yes. We coordinate with your association on access and work hours.
Can I add more sensors later?
Yes. Add sensors if you renovate, install a new fixture, or want coverage in another room.
What does a leak detection system cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your home, the number of sensors, and your main line setup, so we quote after the in-home assessment. The assessment is free.
