Every household should have one!

I and my husband installed Flo-n-Stop six months ago because we travel quite a lot and since our laundry room is on the third floor, we did not want to take a chance in case of any water leakage. It was very easy to install and easy to use! We had major kitchen and bathroom renovations and Flo-n-Stop was a blessing! Can you imagine the plumbing guys running up and down the stairs to turn the water off and on? They sure did not have to do much other than touch the on and off button! Not only was it handy but they loved it since they had never seen something that can shut the water off just by touch of a button. This is something every household should have!! Anne, MD

Water Damage Facts : ( Statistics from Insurance Information Institute )

1 out of every 13 Homes has suffered a water damage claim with an average of $ 4,025 per claim every year leading to nearly $ 7 Billion in total damage last year.

Every year washing machine hose failure accounts for more than $150 Million worth of damage, 5 Million hot water heater ruptures have also caused Millions in damage.
The leading causes of water damage result from frozen broken pipes, ruptured washing machine hoses, water heaters, dishwashers, faulty plumbing, and refrigerators with icemakers.
Studies show that water damage can lead to Toxic Mold Infestation in as little as 48 hours. Toxic Mold Remediation has become a huge business totaling over $3 Billion on its own last year.
* You could be home asleep, at work, or away on vacation. The leak could be slow or a real gusher. Our complete system will protect your property and give you peace of mind 24 hours a day, 365 days a year *

It is not a matter of if you will have water damage but, where you will be when it does occur. The facts show that a refrigerator ice maker water line which is the smallest line in the property has a flow rate of 1 gal/min. A burst washing machine hose has a flow rate of 6 gal/min. and a burst hot water heater can leak more than 10 gal/min. If you are at work or asleep in bed for 8 hours you will have :

Refrigerator Ice Maker- 1 gal/min. x 8 hours = 480 gallons
Washing Machine Hose- 6 gal/min. x 8 hours = 2,880 gallons
Hot Water Heater - 10 gal/min. x 8 hours = 4,800 gallons

That is a lot of water to flow through your home and it can cause a devastating amount of damage to your home and all of your possessions.

These facts make it clear how nearly $ 7 BILLION in water damage occurred last year !!!
