"Here at Integrated Home Construction, we take our business very, very seriously. That’s why when it comes to our insurance needs, we turn to the best: the people of Shepard Insurance Agency."

"My name is Tony Laughlin and have been a client of Shepard Insurance Agency since late 1997. I came to this agency for the purpose of getting lower insurance rates. I not only found lower insurance rates, but I found by far, one the best agents in Ms. Luz Gomez. I unfortuneately have had a few incidents with my vehicles in the past, and I never felt that I was getting anything but top service. The phone calls are returned in very timely manner, and questions are answered as if they knew before they were asked. With the service I receive, I feel like I am their only client. There is no exaggeration in any of these comments, I feel the way I have explained. Thank you Shepard Insurance and a special thanks to Luz Gomez. "

Water is a leading cause of property and structural damage for most homeowners. Supply line leaks and plumbing failures can create spectacular messes that require costly cleanup and repairs to damaged floors, walls, and fixtures.
But you can protect yourself. We've compiled a list of automatic shut-off devices designed to minimize damage caused by leaks. And, depending on your homeowners insurance carrier, you may be eligible for a discount on them. If you have any questions or wish to learn about how this will lower your homeowners insurance premiums, please give us a call at (661) 902-0360.

Flo-Guard
The Flo-Guard System limits damage by shutting off the main water supply. The device can be activated manually with a special wall switch, or automatically by connecting it to a security or smart home system. www.floguard.com

FloLogic System
From a single installation point on your main water line, the FloLogic System continuously monitors all water flow within your home. If a leak is detected, it shuts off the water supply and sounds an alarm. No moisture sensors are required. www.flologic.com

Leak Defense System
Once installed on your home's incoming water supply line, the Leak Defense System uses your pre-set parameters to monitor water flow. It can detect as little as one cup of water per hour, so leaks can be identified before major damage occurs. If the flow exceeds the limits you've set, an alarm will sound. If no one is home, the Leak Defense System will shut off water to the home automatically. www.sentinelhydrosolutions.com

WaterCop
WaterCop automatic shut-off systems automatically turn off the water when a leak has been detected. This effectively reduces the chance of water damage due to common plumbing problems. They can be activated by flood sensors, an optional remote switch or via many types of home security systems. www.watercop.com.
