A small sensor can alert you to a leak before it becomes a flood. Here is how Irvine homeowners can add leak detection to their homes.
How they work
Water sensors sit near water heaters, washing machines, and under sinks, and sound an alarm or send a phone alert when they detect water.
The basic sensors

The smart systems
Whole-home systems add a shutoff valve that closes automatically when a leak is detected, stopping the water even when you are away.
