About Home Saver Kit

A practical, easy-to-use system that helps homeowners quickly locate and shut off utilities during emergencies, preventing damage while saving time and money.

Experience That Led to a Simple Solution

"In my years as a contractor, I’ve seen too many homes suffer unnecessary damage because no one knew how to shut off the utilities in time.

That’s why I created the Home Saver Kit.

To make it simple for anyone in the home to act quickly and confidently in an emergency."

Rick Koenig, Founder
Home Saver Utility Shutoff Kit

The Original Home Utility Shutoff Preparedness System

Most homes are not prepared to quickly shut off water, gas, or electricity during an emergency.

When a pipe bursts, gas is detected, or electrical damage occurs, the difference between minor damage and major loss often comes down to one thing: how fast utilities are shut off.

Home Saver Kit was created to eliminate confusion, reduce response time, and help families act confidently when every second matters.

Built with 48 Years of Real-World Experience

Home Saver Kit was founded by licensed general contractor Rick Koenig, who has spent more than 48 years responding to residential and commercial emergencies.

Throughout his career, Rick repeatedly saw preventable damage escalate simply because homeowners didn’t know:

  • Where their shutoff valves were located
  • How to operate them
  • Or how to act under stress

Instead of continuing to repair the aftermath, he designed a system to prevent it.

The first Home Saver Kits were created in 2002 and shared with friends, family, and community members. Hundreds of early versions are still protecting homes today.

A Simple, Low-Tech Solution That Works

Home Saver Kit is not an app.
It does not rely on Wi-Fi.
It does not require electricity.

It is a structured, physical preparedness system that helps homeowners:

  • Locate their critical shutoff valves
  • Clearly label them with durable, visible tags
  • Use a precision gas shutoff wrench positioned for immediate access
  • Install a customized utility map for fast reference

Because during a power outage or high-stress emergency, technology can fail, but visible guidance does not.

Designed for Real Emergencies

Home Saver Kit is engineered for:

  • Water leaks and burst pipes
  • Gas odors or leaks
  • Electrical emergencies
  • Natural disasters
  • Accidental household incidents

Installation takes about 30 minutes.

The result is permanent, low-maintenance preparedness that protects your home, belongings, and peace of mind.
