Most water damage starts small. A sensor that costs $30 can prevent a claim that costs $15,000.
Water damage is the #1 property loss in America.
Most of it is preventable.
A slow leak behind your washing machine. A corroded hose under the sink. A sump pump that hasn't been tested in years. We find the risks, plan the sensors, and help you prevent the $15,000 claim.

What the Water Risk Defense covers
Includes the full Healthy Home Baseline plus targeted water risk prevention.
Appliance hose inspection
Washing machine, dishwasher, ice maker, water heater — we check every supply line for age, condition, and failure risk.
Leak detection planning
We map your home's highest-risk leak points and recommend optimal sensor placement for maximum coverage with minimum devices.
Sump pump screening
Visual condition assessment, pump test, and backup power awareness. A dead sump pump is a basement flood waiting to happen.
Shutoff awareness
Do you know where your main shutoff is? Can you turn it? We locate, test, and make sure your family knows the drill.
Smart sensor setup
If you choose to add smart leak sensors, we handle placement, pairing, alert configuration, and family notification setup.
Insurance documentation
We provide installation documentation that supports insurance discount applications where your provider offers them.

Frequently asked questions
Why is water damage prevention worth paying for?
Water damage and freezing represent 22.6% of all homeowner property losses, with an average claim severity of $15,400 and a frequency of roughly 1 in 67 insured homes per year. Prevention typically costs a fraction of a single claim.
What kind of leak sensors do you recommend?
We maintain a curated list of reliable, tested devices. Options range from simple point sensors ($20–50 each) to whole-home flow monitors with automatic shutoff capability ($580–600+ installed). We help you choose based on your home's layout, risk profile, and budget.
Can leak detection devices lower my insurance premium?
Some homeowner insurance providers offer premium discounts for verified leak detection and shutoff devices. We provide installation documentation that supports discount applications where available.
What does the water risk assessment check?
We inspect appliance supply hoses (washing machine, dishwasher, ice maker, water heater), check visible plumbing for corrosion or slow leaks, assess sump pump condition, map high-risk leak points, plan optimal sensor placement, and educate on main shutoff valve operation.
Do you install plumbing or whole-home shutoff valves?
We install wireless leak sensors and help configure alerts. For whole-home shutoff valves that require plumbing modification, we work with licensed plumbing partners and coordinate the installation.
