Water Damage

Problem: You're off on vacation and a pipe bursts in your house which floods the place and costs big $$ when you return.

Solution: This a device that you put on an ouside faucet before you leave. You attach it to the faucet and open the faucet. The device would have a pressure sensor on it that you could adjust so that any perceptable drop in pressure in the water lines of your house (as in a ruptured pipe) would be detected by the unit.

After a drop in pressure had been detected (indicating a ruptured pipe) a number of things could happen. The device could set off a pre-recorded alam saying "Help!!! Water damage. Call the city water department right away, please." Or the unit could open up a drainage pipe that would let water run and thus diminsh the amount that gets squirted into your closet or basement. Or the unit could open a trap door letting loose a pigeon with a "Burst pipe at 1125 Elm Street" message. The bird would fly to the water department. Bird handlers at the department would schedule a service person to turn off your water right away!
