Why Insurers Care About Water Shutoff Valves
Water damage is one of the most common home insurance claims. Insurance Information Institute data puts water damage and freezing at more than one in five homeowner claims, with an average claim over $12,500. Most of that damage comes from water that ran for hours before anyone noticed. A smart shutoff valve sits on your main water line, spots a leak, and closes the water by itself. That is why many insurers now offer a discount for one, and why some require one on certain California homes before they will renew a policy. Every insurer is different, so the first step is always a call to yours.

How We Help With Your Insurance
Insurance-Required Shutoff Valves
Got a letter saying you need an automatic water shutoff by a certain date? Send us the letter. We check which type of valve your insurer accepts, install it on your main line, and schedule it ahead of your deadline.
Insurance Discounts
Many insurers give a discount on your premium for an automatic shutoff valve. The amount depends on your insurer and your policy. Before we install, call your insurer and ask about a “water leak mitigation device” discount, so you know what you’ll save and which devices count.
Paperwork for Your Insurer
After the install, we give you what insurers usually ask for: an invoice from a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor, the model and serial number of your valve, and photos of the finished install. You send it to your agent and you’re done.
Trusted Brands We Install
We install Flo by Moen, Phyn, and Watts smart water systems, plus standard NIBCO and Apollo full-port ball valves on the main. Flo by Moen is what we recommend for most homes — it is widely recognized by insurers, and the app is the easiest one for homeowners to use. We handle the complete installation: the plumbing tie-in, a proper section of pipe cut and prepped, wi-fi pairing, app setup, and a walkthrough so you know what the alerts mean before you get your first one. We also install customer-supplied units if you've already bought one.
What To Expect
Every smart shutoff installation starts with a free in-home assessment. We look at where your main line enters the house, check the condition of your existing shutoff valve, confirm you have wi-fi that reaches the install location, and give you a flat-rate price before we start. Most installations take two to three hours. We cut in a section of pipe, mount the unit, restore water, pair it to your wi-fi, and run a full test cycle with you standing there. Before we leave, we walk you through the app — what a normal reading looks like, what an alert means, and how to turn your water back on from your phone if you ever need to.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many carriers offer a discount for an automatic water shutoff, and some will waive part of a deductible on a water claim if one is installed. It varies by carrier, so call yours and ask about a "water leak mitigation device" discount before you install. We're happy to provide the model and serial number for your paperwork.
-
Call or text us and send a photo of the letter. We check which type of valve your insurer accepts, give you a flat-rate price, and install it on your main water line. Then we give you the paperwork to send back to your insurer.
-
Most insurers want a valve on the main water line that shuts the water off automatically, like Flo by Moen or Phyn. Small leak sensors that only sound an alarm usually don’t count. Some insurers keep their own approved list, so ask yours before you buy.
-
Usually an invoice from a licensed plumber, the model and serial number of the valve, and photos of the finished install. We give you all three after the job. Your insurer may ask for something extra, so check with your agent.
-
It depends on your insurer and your policy. Some give a few percent off your premium, and some lower your deductible on a water claim. The only way to know is to call your insurer and ask before you install.
