Bulldog Emergency Water Shut-off
My name is Pat Rowden.
I operated a home-based business with customers worldwide reproducing vintage vehicle running board mats. I designed and built the only machine capable of reproducing any running board mat pattern. Over seven years, I reproduced more than 500 sets of running board mats, and I never had a pattern I could not reproduce. I sold the business I loved several years ago to look after my ailing wife of 57 years. I have now decided to provide an emergency water shut-off service helping homeowners prevent costly water damage. Most people are unaware that interior home flood damage can be more costly than fire damage, so I have established a home-based business selling and installing Bulldog emergency water shut-off systems.
Why did I choose the Bulldog emergency water shut-off systems? After my close examination of the various systems on the market today, I found it was the most effective and least expensive flood damage prevention system.

How it works:
Moisture sensors send a signal to the wireless receiver, instantly shutting off the water supply to the home, thus preventing an interior flood situation.

Below are information and photos showing where I place water leak sensors and why.
The area of your home where water damage will result in catastrophic water damage is at the bottom of the wall, where the water lines go up the wall to the main floor from the basement. Most, if not all, rubber water supply hoses are located in a wall. They are under constant pressure and often bust as they get older. Therefore, I installed a water sensor at the bottom of the wall. This requires that I cut an access hole into the wall to allow me to install a water sensor in the wall so that water collecting there will contact the water sensor, which sends a signal to a wireless receiver that instantly turns off the water supply to your home. I then cover the access hole.
NOTE: None of my competitors do this, yet it is vital if you want to fully protect your home from internal water damage.
Another option is to install the water sensor on the floor outside the wall at that location. This requires drilling a small hole into the side of the wall at the bottom of the wall to allow the water to contact the water sensor.
NOTE: None of my competitors use this option.
I also installed an out-of-sight water sensor inside the bathroom sink cabinet. I also drill a small hole in the back of the cabinet at the bottom so that if the rubber supply hoses burst, the water will leak into the cabinet and contact the water sensor located there.
NOTE: None of my competitors drill this hole.
NOTE: I connect Velcro to all my water sensors so that they cannot be accidentally moved.
I installed a water sensor behind the toilet.
To protect the bathtub, I installed a water sensor on the floor at the bottom of the wall at the foot of the bathtub, which contains the rubber water supply hoses and control valve. I then drill a small hole at the bottom of the wall to allow the water to contact the water sensor located there.
NOTE: None of my competitors drill this hole.
I installed an out-of-sight water sensor inside the kitchen cabinet to detect leaks in the kitchen sink and dishwasher. I also drilled a small hole in the back of the cabinet at the bottom of the cabinet so that if the rubber water supply hoses should leak, water will leak into the cabinet and contact the water sensor located there.
NOTE: None of my competitors drill this hole.
I installed a water sensor that was out of sight behind the washing machine.
I installed a water sensor that was out of sight behind the hot water heater.
I locate the water line feeding the outside water tap. If there is not a shut-off valve in the line, I would recommend that you have me hire a plumbing contractor to install a valve in the line to protect the line from freezing during the winter months. Before winter sets in, I would recommend that you close the valve feeding the tap. Then, open the outside tap to drain the supply line to the tap. Then open the main water valve supplying water to your home. NOTE: If you have a basement suite and/or if your home has two stories or more, additional sensors will be required to fully protect your home from interior water damage.
NOTE: Statistically, one in four homeowners will have interior flood damage. I installed water shut-off systems in my previous home in Didsbury and my present home in Linden. If I had not done so, I would have had water damage on more than one occasion. When I lived in Didsbury, a friend of mine told me that his neighbor was on holiday at Christmas time. His neighbor asked him to check his home. When he entered the house, he found that it was very cold. He opened the door leading to the basement to check the furnace and found the basement full of water. As the basement sewer drain was covered, the basement filled with water from an interior water leak. To add insult to injury, his neighbor had to pay for the water that severely damaged his home. NOTE: As I indicated, major flood damage occurs if the water lines inside the wall of a home leak or rupture. The water collects at the bottom of the wall. Black mold makes the home inhabitable. The drywall and insulation must be replaced, which can cost $20,000 or more, to make the home habitable. NOTE: Vacant homes and rentals are very vulnerable to interior water damage unless they are equipped with an emergency water shut-off service. Our flood damage prevention system gives owners of vacant homes peace of mind, knowing that our Bulldog emergency water shut-off systems will protect their homes from catastrophic interior water damage.
My Bulldog emergency water equipment wholesaler told me once you make an insurance claim no matter how small, insurance companies will increase your premiums for seven years, and they also told me if water lines in an interior wall with water lines supplying the main floor from the basement is not protected, insurance companies will not reduce premiums.
Should you choose to have my Bulldog emergency water shut-off system installed in your home, I believe that if you contact your home insurance company and inform them your home is fully protected against catastrophic water damage by my system, you will get a reduction on your insurance premiums year after year. NOTE: We service the Linden, Three Hills, Trochu, Torrington, Didsbury, Olds, Carstairs, Airdrie, Irricana, Beiseker, Acme, Carbon, and Drumheller areas. If you need a reliable and professional emergency water shut-off service, contact me today to discuss how I can help protect your home from costly water damage. Below are photos of interior water damage.
I believe it is a shame that the wealth of knowledge that a senior citizen accumulates over a lifetime goes to the grave with them. Therefore, I have decided to pass my knowledge on rather than take it to my grave unknown.
