Default Water heater failure - ruined flooring

shutting off all the water in a home might be a bad idea.

a fire occurs, you spot it and get out the garden hose, the detector
reports leak and shuts down the garden hose when you need it the most.

isolate room with a shower pan type arrangement and solenoid valve on
heater is worthwhile idea.
