Understanding the Impact of Plumbing Leaks

Unfortunately, there are minimal visible clues that might indicate a leak to property owners. Even those that are readily visible, such as damp or moldy areas, may show up well away from the source of the leak. Rather, the damage is progressive.

Some of the damage that you can expect when there are unchecked leaks in your plumbing include:

  • Insulation losing efficacy
  • Wood swelling, warping, or splitting
  • Sheet rock deteriorating
  • Wiring corroding

Maximize Protection with Water Alarm Installation

DB’s Plumbing and Drain® installs indoor water alarms that alert you to damaging water leaks, helping to keep your valuable items safe from extensive water damage.

Washing machines overflow, water heaters leak, laundry tubs clog and spill over, and water pipes break. A water leak sensor can help you prevent a disaster and stop the flood of devastating water damage from occurring. Any finished area in your home is an expensive investment. Addressing flood damage can be as costly as the initial construction. Add mold and mildew issues, and the cost goes up even more. Water alarms are a perfect precautionary solution to help stop a flood before it is a major problem.

There are many benefits to choosing a water alarm, including:

  • Alarm will sound for up to 72 hours on a fully charged battery
  • Dependable solid-state circuitry provides extremely sensitive and dependable protection
  • Long battery life
  • Loud 110 dB alarm alerting to a leak as little as 1/32” of water reaching the sensor
  • Protect against mold by detecting and correcting water leakage issues
  • Small profile
  • Use to detect leaks before costly water damage is caused

Water leak sensors should be placed anywhere there is a risk of water damage including the kitchen, utility room, bathrooms, and your basement:

  • Alongside washing machines
  • By refrigerators
  • In a sump pit
  • Near dishwashers
  • Near water heaters
  • Under sinks
