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 water (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. Most Insurance companies offer discounts for homeowners who install emergency water shut-off systems. Therefore, installing a water shut-off system gives them sizable lower home insurance premiums. NOTE: Water damage is one of the most common insurance claims, after wind and hail. Major water (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 mould makes the home uninhabitable. The drywall and insulation must be replaced, which can cost $20,000 or more, to make the home habitable. 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 (flood) damage on more than one occasion. When I lived in Didsbury, a friend of mine told me that his neighbour was on holiday at Christmas time. His neighbour 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 neighbour had to pay for the water that severely damaged his home. 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 water (flood) damage prevention system. Although I’m based in Linden, my services reach far beyond Linden. I serve customers in: Linden, Airdrie, Drumheller, Olds, Didsbury, Three Hills, Torrington, Carstairs, Acme, Bieseker, Irricana, and Crossfield and Calgary.

How the system works:

Moisture sensors send a signal to the wireless receiver, instantly shutting off the water supply to the home, thus preventing an interior water (flood) situation. Below is a short video about the BullDog emergency water shut-off system.
The area of your home where water (flood) damage will result in catastrophic water (flood) damage is at the bottom of the wall, where the water lines go up the wall from the basement. Copper lines can freeze, and plastic lines can also freeze or develop pin holes over time. Therefore, we drill a small hole at the bottom of the basement wall. This allows water that collects there to pass through the hole, contacting the water sensor we placed at the bottom of the wall.
We also installed an out-of-sight water sensor inside the bathroom sink cabinet. We 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: We connect Velcro to all my water sensors so that they cannot be accidentally moved.
We install a water sensor behind the toilet.
To protect the bathtub, We install 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. We 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.
We install an out-of-sight water sensor inside the kitchen cabinet to detect leaks in the kitchen sink and dishwasher. We 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.
We install a water sensor that is out of sight behind the washing machine.
We install a water sensor that is out of sight behind the hot water heater.
locate the water line feeding the outside water tap. If there is no shut-off valve in the line, I recommend hiring a plumber to install a valve in the line to protect it from freezing during the winter months.
