Leak detectors

Three separate acquaintances of mine recently suffered significant, expensive flood damage in their homes as a result of water leaks while they were away. It’s not an uncommon disaster. After some research I settled on the best recommended solution: a set of wireless water sensors from GoveeLife ($100) that emit a loud alarm and send a text/email to my phone if they detect water leaking. I placed the 6 small wireless units below sinks, near toilets and water heaters, etc.—the most likely places to leak. They were very easy to pair with my home wifi and phone app. Downside is that in a few years their batteries will need to be changed. Upside is they really work and in my testing, just a small drip or a millimeter of water will elicit an immediate alarm and text/email message. — KK
