The Might of the Minute Leak
Small leaks in your home’s plumbing system can cause significant water damage over time.
In fact, even a small leak can waste up to 100,000 gallons of water per year. This is enough water to fill a swimming pool!
The best way to prevent water damage from leaks is to monitor the water pressure in your pipes. This is where a
smart water valve comes in. A smart water valve is a device that measures the water pressure, temperature, and flow rate in your pipes and can detect even the smallest leak. It identifies whether a faucet, shower, toilet, or appliance uses water. It’s conveniently connected to an app on your phone, and in cases of emergency, it can shut your water off when it detects a major leak.
In addition to detecting leaks, a smart water valve can save you hundreds of gallons of water each year by helping you conserve water. This can lead to significant savings on your water and sewer bills and reduce your environmental impact.
The technicians at Gorjanc Home Services have the expertise to advise which smart water valve will meet your needs and can install it too.

Terminology
Here are some additional explanations of the technical terms used above:
- Minute water drips: These small leaks can be difficult to see or hear. They often go unnoticed for a long time, leading to significant damage.
- Pressure-loss testing: This checks for leaks in a water system by measuring the amount of pressure lost over time. If the pressure drops significantly, it’s a sign of a leak somewhere in the system.
- The health of your home’s plumbing system refers to the overall condition of the pipes, fixtures, and appliances in your home’s plumbing system. A healthy plumbing system is free of leaks and other problems.
