Summary
The author has saved thousands of dollars in potential water damage thanks to a smart leak detector.
For less than the cost of a nice dinner, he was able to purchase early warning systems for the most vulnerable areas of his home.
When the toilet began to overflow, the author was alerted via his iPhone and was able to stop the flooding before it caused too much damage.
The Ring Alarm Flood & Freeze Sensor can detect water leaks and temperature changes and sends alerts to your smartphone when water touches the sensor.
It requires a Ring Alarm Base Station to function, which costs an additional $200, and it must be placed behind toilets or washing machines in order to detect leaks.
Alternatives worth considering are the YoLink Water Leak Detector and the Govee WiFi Water Sensor.
The author believes that smart leak detection is worth the cost, as it can help to prevent what could easily be a four-figure repair bill.
