Over $50,000,000 from leaking hot water tanks.
-
250,000 families with ruined homes in the US.
-
One broken pipe can deliver a flood in excess of 5,000 gallons in
just an 8 hour period.
-
One broken ice maker tube can cause many thousands of dollars in
damage.
-
Homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage, or it is very limited.
-
Water damage is the single most costly insurance claim made by
homeowners.
-
The number of water damage claims continues to climb exponentially each
year.

were limited to far below the actual losses incurred and none paid for the
aggravation and stress.

Battery Powered
Water Detection Alarms
Water sensing cable alarms
alert owner before damage escalates. Monitor common
trouble spots around the home. Floodtek alarm senses water along the entire cable length and
sounds
an audible alarm. Battery operated means NO WIRING! Just place the
sensing cables where leaks are likely to occur.
|
110 Volt Plug-In
Water Detection Systems
Single
Zone and Eight Zone plug-in controllers for typical applications.
The
Floodtek water sensing cable system provides leak detection
coverage using sensing cable instead of single-point sensors.
This means larger-area coverage and less chance of having water flow right by a sensor, missing it by only inches.

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.
|
|
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 strategic spots around the basement, and sleep
restfully, knowing that an alarm will sound if there is a problem.
