Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling one or more utility systems includes a utility system main supply line for supplying a utility to at least one of a structure, an area and a building and a controlled shut-off device on the utility system main supply line. The controlled shut-off device is bias toward an open position and is movable toward a closed position upon receipt of an actuation signal wherein the utility is prevented from passing by the controlled shut-off device. A main utility sensor is on the utility system main supply line and a motion sensor that detects occupancy is in the building. A processor communicates with the controlled shut-off device, the main utility sensor and the motion sensor. The processor sends the actuation signal to the controlled shut-off device to move the controlled shut-off device toward the closed position when input from the main utility sensor and the motion sensor indicates occurrence of an abnormal event.

Abstract: A water damage protection system and method of preventing water damage for domestic water supply systems is provided. The system comprises a control valve, a sensing device, and a controller. The control valve is bias toward an open position to allow fluid flow therethrough. The control valve is moveable to a closed position upon actuation thereby preventing fluid flow through the conduit. The sensing device detects fluid flow through the fluid conduit. The sensing device sends a fluid flow signal upon detection of fluid flow. The controller receives the fluid flow signal from the sensing device. The controller actuates the control valve when the fluid flow signal occurs continuously for a predetermined length of time and the control valve moves to a closed position.
