We install leak-detecting shutoff valves that help prevent water damage, save money, and give you peace of mind.
At Connected Plumbing, we install smart water shut-off valves that help protect your home from leaks, burst pipes, and water damage. These systems monitor water flow in real time and can automatically shut off your water when they detect unusual usage. For homeowners in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, and Folsom, this service adds peace of mind and better control over the plumbing system.
A smart water valve is installed on your main water line. Once in place, it tracks pressure, flow patterns, and water use throughout the home. Many systems connect to a mobile app, so you can view activity, receive leak alerts, and shut off the water remotely if needed. This is especially helpful when you are away from home, managing a rental, or trying to prevent costly damage from hidden leaks.
We handle the full installation process from start to finish. That includes checking the condition and layout of your main water service line, confirming valve sizing, reviewing access to the shut-off location, and making sure the selected device is a good fit for your plumbing system. If needed, we can make adjustments to the surrounding piping so the new valve is installed cleanly and works the way it should.
Our smart water valve installation service is a good fit for many types of properties, including single-family homes, second homes, remodels, and light commercial buildings. It can be especially valuable for older homes with aging plumbing, homes with a history of slab leaks or fixture leaks, and properties where the owner wants better visibility into water usage. These systems can also help reduce waste by identifying small leaks that may otherwise go unnoticed for weeks or months.
When we install a smart shut-off valve, we focus on both performance and long-term reliability. We make sure the valve is installed in an accessible location whenever possible, that the connections are secure, and that the device is properly integrated with the existing plumbing line. After installation, we test the system, verify operation, and walk you through the basic functions so you understand how to use the app, receive alerts, and manually control the valve if needed.
Depending on the product and property setup, smart water monitoring systems may include features such as automatic leak detection, freeze warnings, pressure monitoring, water usage reports, and remote shut-off control. Some valves learn your household's normal water use over time, which helps improve leak detection accuracy. If you have questions about product options, we can explain the differences in a simple way and help you choose a system that matches your goals and budget.
Every installation starts with the basics: safe plumbing work, proper fit, and dependable operation. We look at pipe material, line size, water pressure, and placement before we begin. If your main water shut-off is outdated, hard to access, or in poor condition, we can discuss improvements during the visit. Our goal is to leave you with a system that is easy to use and built to protect your property.
As a plumbing company with hands-on field experience, we know that fast leak detection is not just a convenience. It can help prevent damaged drywall, ruined flooring, mold growth, cabinet damage, and expensive repairs. A small leak behind a wall or under a sink can turn into a major problem if it is not caught early. A smart water valve adds another layer of protection by actively monitoring the home even when no one is there.
We also understand that homeowners want straight answers before making a decision. If you are considering smart water valve installation, we can explain what the device does, where it will be installed, what the installation process looks like, and what to expect after setup. We keep our recommendations practical and based on the actual plumbing conditions in your home.
At Connected Plumbing, we take pride in providing professional plumbing solutions that protect homes and make systems easier to manage. In addition to smart water valve installation, our team also handles major plumbing work such as underground utility repairs and new septic system installs, so we bring a broad understanding of whole-property plumbing systems to every job. That experience matters when working on a main water line.
If you want better leak protection, more control over your home's water supply, and added confidence when you are away, our smart water valve installation service is a smart upgrade. Contact Connected Plumbing today to schedule an estimate in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, or Folsom. We will help you choose the right system and install it the right way.
We start with a call and on-site assessment to review your main water line, shutoff location, water pressure, Wi-Fi signal, and plumbing layout. Then we recommend the right smart water valve, explain your options clearly, and provide a detailed quote with a realistic installation timeline.
Once approved, we schedule the work at a convenient time and install the smart shutoff valve on your main water supply with clean, code-conscious workmanship. We connect the device, pair it with the mobile app, confirm leak detection features, and make sure manual and automatic shutoff functions work properly.
Before we leave, we run a full system test, check for leaks, verify app alerts, and confirm the valve responds correctly during a live shutoff test. We walk you through the controls, answer questions in plain language, and stay available if you need help after installation in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, or Folsom.
Common questions we hear from homeowners in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, and Folsom about smart water shutoff valves, leak protection, and professional installation.
A smart water valve is an automatic shutoff device installed on your main water line. It monitors water flow, looks for unusual use, and can shut off the water if it detects a possible leak or burst pipe. Most systems also connect to an app, so you can get alerts and control your water remotely. We install these devices the right way, test the system, and make sure you understand how it works before we leave.
Even a small leak can turn into major water damage fast. We have seen minor plumbing issues lead to damaged flooring, drywall, cabinets, and expensive repairs. A smart shutoff valve gives you an early warning and extra protection when you are sleeping, at work, or out of town. For many homeowners, it adds peace of mind that a standard manual shutoff simply cannot provide.
In most homes, installation can be completed in just a few hours. The exact timing depends on where your main shutoff is located, the condition of your plumbing, and whether any updates are needed to fit the new device properly. At Connected Plumbing, we examine the setup first, explain the work clearly, and aim to keep water downtime as short as possible.
In many cases, yes. These systems can often be installed on existing residential water lines, but the right fit depends on pipe size, access, water pressure, and the type of shutoff already in place. We inspect your plumbing before installation and recommend a model that matches your home. If we see any concerns, we will explain them clearly and give you honest options.
Some products are sold as DIY kits, but installing a smart water valve on the main line is not something we recommend for most homeowners. A poor installation can cause leaks, connection problems, or shutoff issues when you need the valve most. We make sure the valve is installed safely, connected correctly, tested for proper operation, and set up to protect your home the way it should.
We are a local plumbing company that believes in doing the job right the first time. When you call us, you get experienced help, honest recommendations, and professional workmanship from a team that understands home plumbing systems inside and out. We proudly serve El Dorado Hills, Placerville, and Folsom. If you are thinking about adding leak detection and automatic water shutoff to your home, contact Connected Plumbing today to schedule your smart water valve installation.

"I hired Connected Plumbing for work we needed on an older house we bought. Work that included a new tankless water heater, a moen water leak detection devise and connecting a new gas range to propane. Gary and Jake have been amazing to work with. Very professional, great communication and very fair pricing. I wont hesitate to use them in the future for any plumbing needs I may have. I highly recommend"
"If you are looking for a quality Plumbing Company that can do it all in a speedy, competitively priced manner then Connected Plumbing is the Place for you! One of my favorite qualities about them is when you call you speak directly to one of the 2 owners who are Plumbers and they will get to you ASAP which for me was an hour! My entire sewer line was backed up and I wasn't able to use any type of sink/shower ect in my home. They showed up and in under 10 minutes diagnosed the the problem (The main drainage line was clogged), then they snaked the drainage line with an auger which took took about 30 minutes and everything was better than before! I'll be using them from here on out!"
"He’s GREAT he came to fix my kitchen sink ! Very affordable and very good at his work definitely my go to plumber!!"

"Outstanding Service — Even on a Sunday! Gary and his team at Connected Plumbing went above and beyond! They came onsite early Sunday morning, quickly sourced and capped a tricky leak, and then did a full inspection of the home to make sure there were no other plumbing issues hiding anywhere. The best part? They wrapped up everything before I even finished my morning coffee! Their professionalism, speed, and attention to detail were truly impressive. Highly recommend Connected Plumbing for anyone looking for reliable, top-quality service you can trust!"
"If there were more stars to give…I’m giving them to these fine young men!!!!!! I had a poopy morning (no pun intended) and then these two show up to save the day!! Even let me geek out on the camera with them and showed me my pipes! From start to finish Jake and Gary were constant professionals and easy to talk to, bug them with questions etc. It was hot today and you couldn’t tell by the lovely smiles and firm handshakes they showed up with. They worked fast and explained everything from start to finish. Very patient, very kind, and beyond reasonably priced!! Seriously tho, thank you so much!!! I WILL be recommending your business to everyone I know. Have a blessed day!!"
"I picked Connected Pumbing from Google‘s “plumbers near me”. Gary came out and gave me a quote, the price seemed good, so I had them replaced my garbage disposal and kitchen faucet. He did a good job and I was rather impressed. I had them out two weeks later to fix my toilet. I was worried about making a mess but he covered everything and did a clean job. Thanks!"
"Had Gary come out for my water heater making bubbling noises and water in the pan. He gave me the option to upgrade to tankless and what a difference! Less propane usage and my family of 4 never runs out of hot water.. thank you!"
"A friend referred me to connected plumbing for 2 separate issues that are both now thankfully resolved. They rerouted a vent in attic to roof from hot water heater which was not installed properly by another contractor. And then they repaired/replaced a septic tank pump and cleared the lines. They came out quickly to access the issues, provided fair and detailed quotes and communicated everything very clearly before and during the project. The work was completed quickly and efficiently and I will absolutely use them again in the future."
"I needed a sewer lift station Plumbed into my house. Lots of excavation and dirt moving. My lawn and driveway looked like they where never here when they finished. They did a great job for a good price. Kind friendly and honest guys. I definitely recommend them. Thanks Gary"
