Home Water Leak Detection, Alarm & Automatic Shut-Off Systems
Stop routine plumbing leaks from becoming catastrophes with water sensors, alarms, shut-off valves and notification technology.
Most homeowners don’t consider employing water leak detection technology until it’s too late. A water heater fails and floods their basement. An old washing machine hose gives out and water quickly spreads down from a second-floor laundry room. A pipe bursts and dumps water into their home for days while they’re on vacation. A dishwasher supply line quietly leaks for months, leaving mold in its wake.
The Wall Street Journal reports[1] that these types of indoor plumbing leaks are “causing a surge in increasingly expensive damage reported to insurers,” and the IBHS offers some sobering data for homeowners[2]:
- Water heater failure is a leading source of residential water damage, costing an average of $4,444 per incident after the deductible.
- Failures of supply hoses account for more than half of all washing machine-related losses, 78% of which involved washing machines that were less than 11 years old.
- Homeowners can experience higher than normal water bills as a result of undetected slow leaks.
| Concern | Undetected Leaks Lead to… |
|---|---|
| Protect your property and valuables | Catastrophic damage and loss of priceless, irreplaceable mementos |
| Avoid costly repairs | Extensive damage to the structure, finishes and fixtures, often requiring mold and other water damage remediation |
| Control insurance costs | Increased premiums and potential dropped coverage |
