LeakSense is designed to provide reliable 24/7 leak detection and protection. To ensure optimal performance:

System Requirements

  • Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is required for real-time monitoring and alerts
  • Power Supply: Sensors operate on long-lasting batteries (2+ year life), but system functionality requires power for water shutoff valves
  • Professional Installation: Our licensed plumbers ensure proper sensor placement and system configuration
  • Compatible Plumbing: Standard residential plumbing systems (we'll assess compatibility during consultation)

Maximizing Protection

While LeakSense provides advanced leak detection and automatic shutoff, we recommend:

  • Regular property inspections and maintenance (as with any home system)
  • Keeping sensors clean and unobstructed
  • Testing your system periodically (we'll guide you through this)
  • Maintaining your internet connection and router

Our Commitment: LeakSense has helped thousands of homeowners prevent costly water damage. While no system can guarantee 100% protection against all scenarios, our technology is proven to significantly reduce the risk of water damage and has saved customers an average of $8,000+ in prevented repairs.
