I agree. If it's not broken, don't fix it. You can pay a plumber several hundreds of dollars to replace all of the push-pull valves in your house, but you may get a leak the next day. I bought six First Alert battery operated water alarms on Amazon and put them behind the toilets, sinks, refrigerator, washing machine, and water heater. Total cost was about $60 and they provide peace of mind. If water get on the floor, an alarm goes off.
