That’s pretty cool Patty – thanks for sharing. You’re right – this kind of thing can happen whether you’re away or not. When we rebuilt our kitchen we opted not to hook up a water line to the refrigerator at all, just to be on the safe side. This nifty gadget might go a long way to helping stop a leak in the first place. Thanks for the tip!

I hope I have helped keep your house safe & dry Sam! I sure wish I could go back in time and prevent that flood. Glad to help others avoid disaster.

I have never experienced any home flooding before, but after reading this, I will be shutting off my pipes before I go on vacation next time!
