Install A Home Leak Monitor/Alarm: We suggest placing the home leak monitors in your basement around your water heater, pipes, toilets plumbing fixtures, etc., it will alert you as soon as it detects any water. This is a quick option. You would purchase an alarm from your local home improvement store. The sensor will sound an alarm if there is water around the area you have placed it. You must be home to hear it, it will not alert you if there is a power outage, you must remember to change batteries.
Another option, specifically for your sump pump, is a cellular pump alarm that we attach to your sump pump. These alarms are specific for your sump pump and alert you when there is water detection, issues with float switch, low temp sensor, any dry contact input, power outage alerts and it will even text you when the alarm has a low battery. Alerts are sent directly to your cell phone. Our professionals are standing by to answer any questions you have regarding our cellular alarms. - We Want To Help You Go Green With Your Plumbing We Want To Help You Go Green With Your Plumbing- Give us a call (740) 217-0450 for Free Estimates.
