Did you know that non-weather-related water damage is one of the most common Homeowner claims and many culprits can be to blame, including: 
- Broken pipes
- Clogged drains
- Malfunctioning toilets
- Failing water heaters
- Older washing machines
Nothing destroys like water. According to the Insurance Information Institute, that’s what 1 in 60 homeowners per year find out the hard way. Priceless mementos like photo albums, valuables and personal collections could be lost AND that’s in addition to a potentially pricey and time-consuming renovation project. The average length of a life disruption from water damage to a home is 3-6 months. Can you imagine being forced to live outside your home for that long while you try to manage your family and life? It isn’t easy. We’d like to help. Consider a installing a water shutoff device and/or water sensors. Both can make your insurance costs lower but the main reason is to mitigate against a claim in the first place.
A water shut off device can detect unusual water flow, usually caused by leaks, and automatically turn off the water to your house. It uses technology that can notify you via an app when there is an issue.
Find a plumber who is certified & trained who can help you assess the size of your pipes to determine the right device to purchase
A water sensor can monitor for leaks 24/7 and alert you to a minor issue before they become a larger problem. Identify key areas such as your washing machine, under sinks, dishwashers. Install app on your phone and sync the device. A few vendors we see in this space are LeakDefense, SimpliSafe and Flo by Moen.
It’s time to start thinking differently about Insurance. Prevent the loss because NO loss is better for all of us.
