Flood Alarms Can Save Your Home Insurance

April 26th, 2010 by Lloyd Pro Group

If you are concerned about water damage in your home then you might want to seriously consider getting a flood alarm. Flood sensors (sometimes called flood sensors or water leak sensors) are low voltage sensors that sit on the floor under a potential area that could leak water. They alert a homeowner in case their is a water leak BEFORE it causes any serious damage.

Places to put water sensors:

  • Place it on the floor next to your water heater.
  • Next too a whirl pool or jacuzzi
  • Near the washing machine
  • Include one near your air handler in case of the drip pan overflowing with water.

We all know how many problems a water leak can cause. That is why it is important to take seriously the frozen pipe warnings that are given each winter. A slow steady water drip can lead to:

  • Water stains on walls and ceilings
  • Ceilings that cave in
  • Rotting wood
  • Mold issues
  • Serious health issues.

In fact… water damage can actually result in your Lawrenceville insurance being canceled in some cases.

How are they installed?

The good news is that many are battery operated and do not require any wiring. You just drop them and leave them! If they go off you will hear a siren that will warn you of the water leak.

What if you are not home?

Others are physically wired into your home security system. This means that if you ever have a water leak or a flood that it will not only make a siren go off, but you will get a phone call where ever you are to tell you about the emergency!

If you are serious about protecting your personal belongings then you should seriously consider getting a flood alarm even if you have Atlanta renters insurance or Atlanta home insurance already.

    Thanks for the information on on demand tank-less hot water heaters. I have not decided if this is a do-it-ur-self project I want to take on…lol.
