💧 The average non-weather water damage claim costs more than $21,000. The crazy part? Most of that damage starts as a leak someone never saw.
Smart leak detectors and automatic shutoff valves are the fix, and here's the part most homeowners don't know: many insurance companies offer discounts or even free devices for homes that have them. Only about 1 in 4 homes actually has one installed.
Here's your how-to this week:
✅ Ask your insurance provider if they offer discounts (or free devices) for leak detection systems. Requirements vary by policy, so check with them directly.
✅ Start where leaks hide: under sinks, at the water heater, behind the washing machine, and near the main shutoff.
✅ Consider an automatic shutoff like the Flo by Moen, which monitors flow, flags unusual usage, and can turn the water off before a small drip becomes a five-figure claim.
✅ Test everything once a month. A detector you've never tested is just a paperweight.
Water damage is one of the most common home insurance claims out there, and prevention is always cheaper than the repair.
