The only way to mitigate the risk of water damage is to continuously monitor water leaks. Assessing the risk of potential water damage and installing a water leak detection system is increasingly recommended by commercial insurers and is often a requirement for full coverage.
At the forefront of water detection technology is the LEAKalarm system from Hochiki. LEAKalarm is an intelligent (addressable) solution designed to be infinitely reliable, with many features also found in systems designed for life insurance.
