Choosing a leak detection system can feel overwhelming. With dozens of products on the market, how do you know which one actually protects your home?
Let’s simplify it.
3 Main Types of Leak Detection Devices
- Point-of-Leak Sensors
- Placed near water heaters, under sinks, and behind toilets
- Sound an alarm or send alerts when water touches them
- Best for targeted, high-risk areas
- Limitation: they only detect water when it reaches the sensor
- Flow-Based Monitors
- Installed on the main water line
- Track overall water flow and pressure
- Can detect invisible leaks inside walls or slabs
- Ideal for full-home protection
- Smart Shutoff Valves
- Auto-close your water supply when a leak is detected
- Prevent serious damage even when you’re away
- Best paired with flow-based or point sensors
What to Consider When Choosing
- Size of Home: Larger homes may require a combination of products for full coverage
- Budget: Some systems are affordable DIY; others require a plumber
