  • Patent number: 7030767
    Abstract: A liquid flow mitigation system comprising a systems interface, a liquid arresting mechanism operable to impede flow of a liquid, a control device operable to produce an input to the systems interface representing a request to impede flow of the liquid, and a liquid utilizing device operable to produce an input to the systems interface representing a request for liquid flow. The systems interface directs the liquid arresting mechanism to impede liquid flow when the systems interface is in receipt of an input from the control device. The systems interface directs the liquid arresting mechanism to permit liquid flow when the systems interface is in receipt of an input from the water utilizing device.

  • Patent number: 6812848
    Abstract: A water leak mitigation device comprising a power supply, a building systems interface, a plumbing interface, and a monitoring device is provided. The monitoring device produces a primary input to the building systems interface. Upon receipt of the primary input, the building systems interface instructs the plumbing interface to restrict water flow to the associated building. Upon receipt of a secondary input produced by a building device when the building device requires water for operation, the building systems interface instructs the plumbing interface to resume the flow of water to the building so as to permit the operation of the building device. After the building device has completed its operation, transmission of the secondary input ceases and the building systems interface instructs the plumbing interface to again restrict the flow of water to the building.
