About the service
I design and install complete water leak detection sensor systems for houses and apartments, covering every point where a pipe failure or appliance malfunction typically starts — under kitchen and bathroom sinks, behind washing machines and dishwashers, near water heaters, under refrigerators with ice makers, around sump pits, and along exposed basement supply lines. Each sensor is placed after checking the actual flood path of the room (floor slope, nearest drain, cabinet layout) rather than dropped in the most convenient spot, so a slow drip is caught long before it reaches drywall or flooring.
The core of the system is a wireless hub paired with an automatic main shutoff valve installed directly on the incoming water line. When any sensor detects moisture or a flow sensor on the main registers an abnormal continuous flow (the classic signature of a burst pipe or a fixture left running), the valve closes the water supply within seconds and the hub pushes a notification to your phone with the exact sensor location, timestamp, and event type. I configure the app for multiple household members, set quiet-vs-alert notification tiers, and add a battery backup module to the shutoff valve so protection continues through a power outage.
Installation includes a full test-trigger walkthrough: every sensor is manually wetted or simulated, every notification path is confirmed on each household member's phone, and the automatic shutoff is fired at the main valve to verify full flow stop and re-open cycle. I document sensor placement with a floor-plan sheet and battery-change schedule, and provide a written summary of coverage gaps if any area (finished walls, slab-on-grade runs) cannot be sensor-covered without additional plumbing access. Typical jobs cover 8-14 sensor points plus the main valve and are completed in a single day, with a follow-up check two weeks later to confirm stable connectivity and no false alarms.
