Should I install smart water leak detectors?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Smart water leak detectors are one of the most cost-effective smart home devices you can buy. They alert your phone immediately when they detect moisture, helping you stop leaks before they cause serious damage. Place them near water heaters, under sinks, behind washing machines, near toilets, and in basements or crawl spaces. Some models automatically shut off your water main when a leak is detected. A single undetected leak can cause thousands in damage, making these sensors invaluable.
Why It Matters
Water damage is one of the most common and expensive homeowners insurance claims. Early detection can save you thousands and prevent mold.
