A system and method for minimizing liquid leaks
A system 10 for minimizing liquid leaks, preferably water leaks in a property. The system comprises first and second liquid-flow conduits 12, 14 within which a liquid can flow, wherein the second liquid flow conduit 14 is connected to a branching point 16 of the first liquid-flow conduit 12 in such a way that the second liquid-flow conduit 14 is in liquid communication with and branches off from the first liquid-flow conduit 12. A liquid sensor or meter 18 senses and/or meters the flow of liquid through the first liquid-flow conduit 12. A first valve 20 and a second valve 22 are moveable between an open or closed position, and a controller 24 s configured to receive liquid flow information from the liquid sensor or meter 18. Wherein the controller 24 is configured to cause the first valve 20 to close and the second valve 22 to open when the liquid flow information from the liquid sensor or meter 18 meets one or more predetermined criteria. The second valve may be a dump valve which allows the water to flow to another location where it will not damage the building
