Second homes in Park City: the off-season water risk

An empty house doesn’t leak more often. It leaks longer, because nobody is there to hear it.

Containment set up in a vacant home during mitigation
A Deer Valley condo found four days after a supply line failed.

In an occupied home, a failed supply line is found in minutes. In a second home it can run until the next visit, and after 48 hours mold becomes part of the job.

The monitoring setup that works

  • Leak sensors under every sink, the water heater, and the washer.
  • An automatic shutoff valve on the main that closes when a sensor trips.
  • A temperature alert set at 45°F.
  • A local key-holder who can be inside within an hour.
Give us a key on file Owners who register with us get a crew dispatched on alert, even when they’re out of state.

Got a leak alert from out of town? We’ll go.
