PipeBurst Pro

September 6, 2011 - Laurie and I would like to thank all of you and the Pipe Burst Pro team for your excellent product and the benefits it offers. Our landscaping is finished in the front and while everyone concerned discussed the drainage and fall of the resulting landscape we found out Friday night at 1:30 am that it requires some additional attention as well as the conduits coming into the basement. On Friday we received about 3 inches of rain in just over an hour. The Flo Trax sounded at 1:30 am and indicated water detected in the mechanical room at one of the geo units. I investigated to find about half of the mechanical room floor covered in water. The north wall was dripping wet but no substantial amount of water was flowing. I woke up the family to aid in moving items sitting on the floor to higher ground and we were just making some progress when evidently another big down pour occurred causing water to come pouring down the basement wall drenching the phone system and computer system router. Those wonderful gutter guards are great at keeping leaves and such out of the gutters but, they also hinder the gutters from taking large amounts of rain. I also found out that the two conduits that bring the phone and other utilities in are not sealed well at all. Bottom line many items were saved and the damage to many more were minimized due to the Pipe Burst Pro. Most importantly we would have lost some down stairs carpeting had we not been awoken by the Pipe Burst Pro.

August 4, 2011 - This is a great product! I had a water line bust downstairs last month and the SideKick detected the water and saved my basement from flooding!! (Listed on http://www.smarthome.com/asp/ReviewRead/ReviewRead.asp?itemnumber=71638WH)

July 7, 2011 - Purchased this one from another site....should have got it from you as it is cheaper. Anyway, I had 40k in water damage 4 months ago and my insurance company told me to get a system or lose my policy. Basically the product installed easily and wireless is great. The valve is hard core and I have it outside the house which is even better. It does a great job and I will buy my additional sensors from your guys!

July 7, 2011 - Had my PipeBurst Pro Jr now for 4 months and the product has lived up to what they say. The valve is hard core and has some serious weight to it. I push the button every time I leave the home to shut off my water and have had no issues. (Testimony listed on http://www.smarthome.com/asp/ReviewRead/ReviewRead.asp?itemnumber=71641")

May 27, 2011 - I have had the PipeBurst Pro system installed in my home for a few months. I recently had an alarm and was happy to find that the system worked! After hearing the system alarming, I went to my FloTrax in the kitchen and noticed that it was one of my FloodBugs that set the system off, so I went to the FloodBug that was alarming and it was wet. The bathroom that it was in had high humidity at the time and from the shower adding to the humidity level the toilet developed a lot of water on the tank and it dripped down on the FloodBug setting off the alarm. I then went over to the bathroom and dried up all the water and verified that there was not a leak with the toilet. I have my PipeBurst Pro system also hooked into my security system, and they called me and informed me that there was a leak. So, if I was not at home at the time of the alarm, I would know that there was an issue with my home. Now, this was not an emergency situation, but it keeps my mind at peace knowing that my PipeBurst Pro system is actively watching over my home for water leaks, it also informed me that there was standing water in my bathroom and it should be cleaned up. I am so happy I installed the PipeBurst Pro in my own home and have it protecting my family and our priceless possessions.

April 20, 2011 - I am one of the principals of the PipeBurst Pro company and I just had a leak under the sink in our new lunchroom at the factory! Just to show you how tricky these leaks can be:
    1. Our maintenance man found this leak over 2 weeks ago before we had this section of the building
        fully protected with the PBP system.
    2. He didn’t think much about it at the time and just cleaned it up.
    3. Then we had an engineer find it a week ago again.
    4. He thought it was the nearby icemaker overflowing when it did its auto cycling/cleaning thing
        and again, discounted it as a real leak.
    5. Today our engineering manager saw it again present and brought it to my attention.
    6. We both thought it was nothing but a fluke… until I tried to snug up the fitting a little and then it
        began leaking like mad!

I was glad the PipeBurst Pro was installed, as it quickly shut down the pipe to that section of the building, stopping the water. To make a longer story shorter, I got some new parts and fixed it properly. But, the melamine/particle board floor of the cabinet was bordering near the swelling up stage and if the leak had gone longer it would have ruined the cabinet floor, not to mention flooding that section of the factory with untold potential damage. Just look at the series of mistakes that had to happen before someone took this problem seriously…there were 6 of them. Normally you only need 3 mistakes to turn something into something serious! Needless to say I will sleep better tonight.

No one is immune to water pipe leaks, not even the people who make the PipeBurst Pro! I hope this helps someone else.

April 18, 2011 - The PipeBurst Pro works like a charm, 1” copper in, cpcv out, pipe is overhead in the garage. I feel much safer now.

February 15,2011 - This valve is exactly what we need. Excellent product, I wish you huge success.

February 2,2011 - Thanks to the PipeBurst Pro Jr. I found the leak in my roof before I got any water damage in my home!.

November 27, 2010 - Expensive, but worth every penny! I originally bought the diaphram type valve nd I could see that it would not last more than a couple years. I went to Smart Home's retail store and inspected the Pipeburst Pro Jr. It is made like a tank, stainless steel ball valve and nitrile seats. The valve is made for the farming industry to accept chemicals and operate in harsh environments. Installs easy and operates great. I had over 30k of water damage last year, and don;t want to go through that again! Great product!!

October 15, 2010 - Just bought the PipeBurst Pro Jr a month ago, the product already stopped a potential major issue as my toilet had a slight leak and it picket it up. Great quality and it does what it advertises. (Testimony on http://www.smarthome.com/71641/PipeBurst-Pro-JR100-Automated-Water-Leak-Detection-System/p.aspx ).
