LeakSecure has been chosen by Cullum Homes as the standard water leak detection and automatic shutoff system for its new homes in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Cullum Homes is a custom home builder that focuses on higher end residential projects, and this decision means LeakSecure will be installed during construction in many of its upcoming builds. The goal is to help protect homes from water damage by spotting leaks early and shutting off the water when needed, rather than waiting until a leak is large and obvious.
LeakSecure is made by Notation Labs, Inc. The system uses a combination of sensors, smart shutoff valves, and software to watch for leaks throughout a house. When the system detects a problem, it can automatically close the main water supply to help reduce damage. The company designed the system for whole home use, so it is not just one sensor near a water heater, but a network that can be planned into the plumbing layout while the home is being built. That type of setup can appeal to builders who want to include water protection as part of their standard package, without leaving it up to each buyer to add later.
Cullum Homes is known for custom projects in communities around Phoenix. By choosing LeakSecure as its standard leak detection system, Cullum Homes is adding a built in feature that targets a common and costly issue for homeowners. Water damage from hidden leaks, burst pipes, or failed appliances can lead to repairs, insurance claims, and long disruption. A system that shuts off water when a leak is found may reduce the size of losses and the time needed to fix problems. This move also fits with the trend of including more connected home systems in new builds, where plumbing, electrical, and networking can be planned together from the start.
For Notation Labs, landing Cullum Homes as a partner means more new houses in one of the driest and fastest growing metro areas will include LeakSecure from day one. Arizona homes can still face leaks from supply lines, fixtures, and irrigation systems, even if the climate is dry. Having LeakSecure installed during construction makes it easier to place valves and sensors in the right spots and to connect them cleanly to control hardware. This can be simpler than trying to retrofit an older house, where access to pipes may be harder and wiring paths may be limited.
The agreement between LeakSecure and Cullum Homes also gives home buyers a point of difference to consider when comparing builders. Buyers who are thinking long term about repair costs and maintenance may see value in a standard leak detection and shutoff system. Insurance companies sometimes look favorably on technology that reduces risk, so there may be future options for lower premiums or better terms, depending on the insurer and policy. While those details would depend on each homeowner’s situation, having the hardware in place from the start keeps that option open.
Both companies are presenting this step as part of a broader focus on smart home features that address common problems in a direct way. Instead of only adding devices for comfort or entertainment, this choice centers on basic protection of the home. LeakSecure brings the monitoring and automatic response, while Cullum Homes brings the new builds where the system can be wired and plumbed into the structure. Homeowners who move into these new Cullum Homes properties in the Phoenix area can expect LeakSecure to be part of the standard package, giving them built in leak detection and automatic shutoff from the day they take the keys.
