Know before you buy
Ball valves only, and only up to 1 1/4 inch; a round-wheel gate valve needs a plumber to swap first. It needs an outlet near the main. Only a Z-Wave hub can tell it to close when a sensor elsewhere reads wet.

- When a pipe freezes or burstsWhat to do in the first ten minutes, how to thaw a frozen pipe safely, and the one thing never to use.
- Recipe: Leak sensor recipeWater on the floor at a water heater, a washer, a dishwasher, a sink or a toilet, the moment it gets there.
