Water Damage Sensor

What is a Water Damage Sensor?

Water damage sensors are devices that detect the presence of water and trigger an alarm or alert when it is detected. They provide an early warning system for potential water damage, allowing homeowners and businesses to take immediate action to minimize the damage.

• Types of Water Damage Sensors:

  There are various types of water damage sensors available, including:

  • Probe-type sensors: Insert probes into areas prone to water leakage, such as under sinks or near water heaters.
  • Contact-type sensors: Rest on surfaces and detect water when it comes into contact with them.
  • Wireless sensors: Transmit data wirelessly to a central hub or monitoring system.
• Benefits of Using Water Damage Sensors:
  • Early detection of water leaks
  • Prevention of major water damage
  • Protection of valuable assets, such as electronics and furniture
• Placement of Water Damage Sensors:

  Water damage sensors should be placed in areas with a high risk of water leaks, such as:

  • Under sinks
  • Near water heaters
  • In basements and crawl spaces
• Maintenance of Water Damage Sensors:

  To ensure proper functionality, water damage sensors should be regularly:

  • Tested
  • Calibrated
  • Replaced when necessary
