Do You Need a Water Alarm?
Water is indispensable and a matter of necessity and convenience. Water damage in a house is nothing less than a nightmare, and measures to avoid leaks in an older home should include a regular review by a plumber and quick attention to minor problems.
However, sometimes leaks are unidentifiable until substantial water bills arrive or mold starts peeking from behind the walls.
Thanks to smart technology, unpleasant situations involving water damage can be prevented with leak detectors. These devices are gaining in popularity thanks to their utility and easy application.
What Are Water Alarms?
Water alarms are electronic sensors that detect the presence of water by measuring its conductivity. On detecting leaks, the sensors raise an audible alarm for the residents to take immediate measures. Instant notification is sent to the registered number through mobile application alerting the homeowner about the plumbing emergency.
Several sensors come with the automatic feature that allows them to shut off the water valve when a leak is identified. This helps to avoid water waste, flooding, and damage to walls and furniture.
