Automatic Water Shut-Off Valves in Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County
An automatic shut-off valve watches the water coming into your home and closes it when it detects a burst pipe or a leak that won't stop. It also sends an alert to your phone, which matters most when nobody is home. 1st Place Plumbing installs and services these valves across Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta. Call or text (770) 800-7563 or book online to schedule an estimate.
What we can help with
- Whole-home shut-off valves: We install a leak detection valve on the main water line where the water enters the house.
- Leak sensors: We place sensors at the water heater, the laundry room and under sinks, where leaks usually start.
- App setup and testing: We connect the valve to your Wi-Fi and test the shut-off with you before we leave.
- Work alongside your existing valves: We fit the valve after the main shut-off and the pressure reducing valve, without changing how the rest of the house works.
What to expect
The valve goes on the main water line where the water enters the house, after the main shut-off and the pressure reducing valve. We size it to your line, connect it to your Wi-Fi and place the sensors where a leak would show up first. Most homes need no other changes to the plumbing.
Before we leave, we test the system with you watching. We open a faucet, trip a sensor and let you see the water stop, then walk you through pausing the valve from your phone. You'll know exactly what it does and how to use it.

Frequently asked questions about automatic water shut-off
How does it tell a leak from normal use?
The valve spends its first couple of weeks learning how your household uses water, so a long shower or a sprinkler cycle reads as normal. Anything outside that pattern gets an alert on your phone before the valve acts. You can also pause it from your phone whenever you need to.
Does it work with a well or a tankless water heater?
Yes, on most systems. We check your line and your water pressure first and tell you if anything needs to change before the valve goes in.
Do I still need a plumber to fix the leak?
Yes. The valve stops the flooding, and the pipe still has to be repaired. Give us a call and we'll come out and fix what caused it.
