The Flood Stopper system, developed by Smart Sensor Technologies in Medford, Mass., shuts off the
water supply as soon as a leak is detected. Sensors are placed on the floor at crucial places where
leaks could occur. When a leak is detected, the sensors signal the control panel to shut off the
water and the panel sounds an alarm and shows where the leak occurred.

Over the course of six years, average insurance claims for water damage went up 10 times, from $4,000
in 1995 to $40,000 in 2001. Leaks are second only to hurricanes as causes of water damage, according
to insurance industry sources. Now there is a device, the FloodStopper, that can put a stop to water
leaks. It's a sensor that will shut off the water supply at the main, whenever moisture is detected.

FloodStopper automatically shuts off a home’s water supply upon detection of a leak. The system’s
low-profile electronic sensors are placed on the floor at points where leaks might occur, such as
near a water heater. The sensors can be hard-wired or, where access is difficult, wirelessly
connected to the system’s control panel. When a shutoff is effected, the control panel emits a
visual and/or an audible alarm and displays the location of the problem.

The FloodStopper System consists of electronic sensors, a user-friendly control panel, and a
Honeywell shut-off valve. The sensors are placed on the floor at points where leaks may occur.
They may either be hard-wired, or in areas where access is difficult, wirelessly connected to
the system's control panel. When a sensor detects moisture from a water leak, it signals the
control panel to instruct the system's Honeywell valve to instantly shut off the water supply.
The control panel also emits a visual and/or an audible alarm to alert users to the shut-off
and displays the location of the problem.
