A personal testimony: Could this happen to you?

"Several years ago while we were away for a camping trip, the nut that holds the supply line to our upstairs faucet busted. We came home to a destroyed house. We estimate that 10,000 gallons of water ran through our home. The damage was over $50,000.The three months we spent re-building our home were the worst we’d ever spent. If only we’d known about Floodtek."

Chuck and Betsy S., Lancaster NY

Floodtek Leak Detection System could have saved this couple from all this damage and hassle. With the Automatic Shut-off Valve in place and Floodtek installed in their home, it is unlikely that the broken water line would have gone unnoticed for long. Once detected, the valve would have closed and the water stopped. It would have stayed off until they returned home. There may have been some damage, but it would have been very limited.

 

Water Damage: Ugh! What a Mess!  

Water leaks cause serious damage to homes and businesses every year. Billions of dollars in physical damage and lost time on the job occur and we have the technology to limit that damage now. We can help by providing you with Leak Detection Equipment, an early warning system that could prevent a large amount of this damage. When you combine detection and early warning with automatic shut-off devices, you can be even more protected.

We've talked to many people who have said, "I need an affordable product that can set off an alarm when water is leaking somewhere in my house. With all the technology we have, is there a product that can automatically turn off my house water supply when it detects that a pipe or appliance is leaking? Does it have to cost an arm and a leg?"

The answer is: The Floodtek Leak Detection System.

 

The Problem:

A leaky pipe quietly does its damage to your home without you even knowing about it until it's too late. A washing machine hose bursts while you are at work and floods the basement or laundry room, or more. The ice maker tube cracks slightly, quietly leaking every time it goes on and water ruins the floor, unseen, and unnoticed, until it's too late. The hot water tank begins to drip and water is soaking into your carpet or the items you have stored nearby. Your sump pump dies in the middle of the night and without a warning system or backup sump pump in place, your basement is ruined. Can you prevent all these things from happening? Probably not. But you can do something about it now to prevent as much of the damage as possible. 

The Solution: Floodtek.

You can install an early-warning system to limit the damage and prevent it from spreading. Instead of costing thousands of dollars in damage and countless hours (dollars) of lost time, you can install a reasonably-priced leak detection system to warn you of these kinds of problems. With the right optional equipment added on, the Floodtek Leak Detection Systems can alert you that a problem exists, turn the water off, and even work in conjunction with your security system or building management system to get help!


Each model comes with a 30 day money back guarantee to take the risk out of your purchase and each system is easy to install.

Protect your home or business from damage by water leakage caused by: ruptured pipes and hoses, overflowing drains, floor & wall cracks, and sump pump failures using the Floodtek Leak Detection Systems. Prevent, or at least limit, the damage that is often the result of unseen and normally undetected leaks, drips, infiltration, appliance failure, etc. Getting an early warning of a water leak can mean all the difference on the extent of the water damage and on how to correct it. Taking care of a small leak when it is still small is key to reduction of cost, lowering of insurance claims, and the out-of-pocket expenses associated with water damage. Get the peace of mind you need by placing the Floodtek Leak Detection System at the strategic spots around the basement, and sleep restfully, knowing that an alarm will sound if there is a problem.
