Water damage prevention
Most water damage starts small: a supply line that gives way, a pipe that freezes overnight, a water heater that slowly fails. The damage comes from how long it runs before anyone notices. Sensors and shutoffs close that gap.

Know the risk
Where water damage starts
Supply lines and appliances
Washing machine hoses, toilet and sink supply lines, dishwashers and ice makers fail without warning.
Frozen and burst pipes
Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages can freeze and split during a Colorado cold snap.
Water heaters
Tanks corrode from the inside and usually leak slowly before they fail outright.
Sump pumps and sewer backups
A failed pump or overwhelmed sewer line can put water in a finished basement within hours.
Roofs, gutters and drainage
Hail damage, ice dams and clogged gutters send water into ceilings and toward the foundation.
How to protect against it
Your protection plan
- 01
Put sensors where leaks start
Under sinks, behind toilets, beside the washer and water heater, and near the sump pump. A sensor alerts your phone the moment it gets wet.
- 02
Watch the whole house
Flow monitors like Flume and Phyn track every gallon and flag unusual use, including slow leaks inside walls that no sensor can reach.
- 03
Shut the water off automatically
Smart valves such as Flo by Moen and Phyn Plus close the main line when they detect a leak, even when no one is home.
- 04
Catch freezing early
Temperature alerts in basements, crawl spaces and vacant rentals give you time to act before a pipe bursts.
