Flood PRevention
Smart water shutoff that helps stop floods before they happen
In Nevada homes, water damage is often cited as far more common than break-ins, which is why “wait and see” can get expensive fast. FPS installs smart monitoring and automatic shutoff systems designed to help prevent water damage in Las Vegas—especially when you’re asleep, at work, or out of town.
Flo by Moen
A popular, app-based option that tracks water flow and sends instant alerts when something looks off. FPS has been a Moen Flo installer in Vegas since 2018 and can help you decide if Flo is the best match for your home and lifestyle.
Leak Defense System
A robust smart water shutoff system often chosen for high-end homes where reliability and control matter. It’s built for serious protection, and we install it with the careful setup and testing these systems need to perform correctly.
How smart leak prevention works
Always-on monitoring, alerts, and automatic shutoff
These systems watch your home’s water use 24/7 by tracking flow and pressure patterns, then alert you when something doesn’t look right. Many can catch leaks as small as a slow drip and shut off the main line automatically—often before a small issue becomes a full-blown flood.
If you travel often, manage a second home, or have a history of leaks, a smart water shutoff in Las Vegas can take a lot of stress off your plate. Some insurers offer premium discounts (often in the 5–10% range) for automatic leak detection in Nevada, and local rebates may be available on qualifying installs—so the protection can help pay you back over time.
Flood prevention questions homeowners ask
Simple answers before you commit
How can I prevent plumbing floods in my house?
The first step is fixing active leaks and replacing weak points like aging supply lines or worn shutoff valves. The next step is adding a system that watches for abnormal water activity and can shut off water automatically if a leak is detected. That “always-on” layer is what helps stop damage when you’re not watching. FPS can look at your home and recommend a practical plan based on your risk areas and how you use the property.
What is a smart water shutoff valve, and do I need one?
A smart shutoff valve (often paired with a monitoring device) sits on your main water line and controls water flow into the home. It tracks water use and can send alerts to your phone, and many models can shut off water automatically when a leak is suspected. You may want one if you travel, have a second home, have had leaks before, or simply want to prevent water damage in Las Vegas before it starts. If your home is lower-risk, we’ll tell you that too and focus on repairs or targeted upgrades instead.
Are these systems really worth the cost?
A single major leak can turn into a five-figure repair bill, so many homeowners see this as protection against a “rare but brutal” event. Beyond avoiding damage, these systems can help reduce water waste by catching silent leaks early. Some insurance companies offer discounts for automatic leak shutoff devices, and local rebate programs may reduce the upfront cost (often up to around $250 on qualifying installs). The best way to know is a quick risk check—home layout, plumbing age, and travel habits make a big difference.
How do smart leak detection systems actually detect a leak?
Most systems monitor flow rate and pressure changes, then compare what’s happening to normal patterns in your home. If water is running when it shouldn’t be, or the flow looks like a burst line, the system can trigger alerts and take action. Many also let you run tests, view usage, and set rules through an app. FPS handles setup and fine-tuning so the system is less “noisy” and more helpful day to day.
Should I install a prevention system if I just have a small leak right now?
If you have a current leak, the priority is to stop it and repair the cause—otherwise any system is just watching a problem that’s already happening. For many homes, a solid repair plus a few upgrades is enough. But if you’ve had repeat leaks, you’re away often, or your home has high-risk areas (water heaters, laundry rooms, long supply runs), a prevention system is a smart next step. We’ll help you choose the level of protection that fits your situation instead of pushing the highest-priced option.
