Flood Protection in Atlanta, GA

Our wireless flood sensors are placed near high-risk areas, including:

• Water heaters
• Washing machines
• Sinks, toilets, and dishwashers
• Basements and crawl spaces

Once water contacts the sensor, it immediately triggers an alert through your system. When paired with our 24/7 professional monitoring, you can rest assured knowing help is on the way even if you're not home.

Flood detection is especially ideal for the following types of homes and situations because each presents a heightened risk of costly water damage—either due to structural vulnerabilities, asset value, or the homeowner's absence. Here's a breakdown of why flood detection is essential for each scenario:

1. Homes with Finished Basements

• Why it matters: Finished basements often contain flooring, drywall, furniture, and even HVAC or entertainment systems.

• Risk: These spaces are below ground level, making them the first to flood in the event of heavy rain, pipe bursts, or sump pump failure.

• Benefit: Early detection can prevent thousands of dollars in repairs and loss of personal property.

2. Older Plumbing Systems

• Why it matters: Pipes, joints, and seals degrade with age, especially in homes built before modern plumbing codes.

• Risk: Aging materials can crack or burst, leading to slow leaks or sudden flooding.

• Benefit: A flood sensor gives you early warning before a minor leak turns into a major disaster.

3. Frequent Travelers or Second Homes

• Why it matters: Unoccupied homes go unchecked for long periods, meaning leaks or floods can go undetected.

• Risk: Water damage can worsen dramatically within hours or days if not addressed.

• Benefit: Remote flood monitoring via your security system allows you to act fast—even when you're not home.

4. Homes with High-Value Electronics or Hardwood Flooring

• Why it matters: These materials and systems are expensive to replace and easily damaged by water.

• Risk: Even a small leak can warp wood floors or fry electronics.

• Benefit: Flood sensors act as an early warning system, protecting your most valuable assets.

5. Recently Renovated Kitchens or Laundry Rooms

• Why it matters: New appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, fridges) come with complex plumbing setups.

• Risk: Poor installation or faulty fittings can lead to unexpected leaks.

• Benefit: Flood detection offers peace of mind that your investment is protected.
