Plumbing Leak Sensor Installation in Connecticut
Most home water damage doesn't start with a dramatic burst — it starts with a slow drip under a sink, behind a water heater, or at a washing-machine hose that no one sees for days. Point leak sensors are small, inexpensive devices placed exactly where leaks begin, and they sound an alarm and alert your phone the instant they detect water on the floor. For a fraction of the cost of a whole-home system, they turn the most common slow leaks into an early warning instead of a rotted cabinet or a soaked Connecticut ceiling below.
We place sensors at the spots that statistically leak first — under kitchen and bathroom sinks, at the base of the water heater, behind the washing machine, at the dishwasher and refrigerator lines, and near any sump or basement fixture. The sensors are wireless and battery-powered, so there's no drilling or wiring, and they tie into the same app ecosystem as a smart shutoff valve. A leak at any monitored point pushes an immediate alert with the location, so you know it's the water heater and not the dishwasher before you're even home across Connecticut.
Leak sensors are the affordable entry point to water-damage protection, and they pair naturally with an automatic shutoff valve — the sensor detects, and the valve closes the main. On their own they give you the minutes that matter, letting you shut a fixture stop or the main before a slow leak becomes a claim. We place them where your home is actually vulnerable, set up the alerts, and show you how to respond, so a drip behind the Connecticut water heater becomes a phone notification instead of a surprise flood.
Symptoms that call for leak sensor installation
Appliances that leak unattended
Washers, dishwashers, and refrigerators leak at their supply lines with no one watching, often overnight. A sensor at each catches the drip the moment it starts in the Connecticut home.
A finished basement or living space below
A leak above a finished space rots and stains before it's found. Sensors at the fixtures above turn that hidden leak into an alert across Connecticut.
A water heater near the end of its life
An aging tank often weeps at the base before it fails outright. A sensor there gives you warning to replace it before it floods the Connecticut floor.
You want protection without a big project
Not every home needs a whole-house shutoff to start. Point sensors are a low-cost, no-wiring way to cover the leak-prone spots in a Connecticut home today.
A second home or rental you don't visit daily
A property you're not in every day can leak for a week undetected. Sensors alert your phone remotely so you know the moment water shows up across Connecticut.
What's behind it — and how we fix it
Supply-line and hose failures
Washer hoses, ice-maker lines, and braided sink supplies burst or weep without warning. A sensor at each catches the water immediately in the Connecticut home.
Water heater seepage
A corroding tank often leaks slowly at the base for days before it fails. A sensor under it turns that early seep into a warning across Connecticut.
Drain and P-trap leaks
A loose or corroded trap under a sink drips into the cabinet unseen. A sensor on the cabinet floor flags it before the Connecticut base rots.
Sump and basement water
A sump that fails or a basement that seeps floods the lowest level quietly. A sensor near the pit alerts you before the water rises in the Connecticut home.
Refrigerator and dishwasher lines
The lines behind and under kitchen appliances leak where they're hardest to see. Sensors there catch the drip early across the Connecticut kitchen.
