Stop Leaks Before They Cause Damage: How a Smart Water Tile Protects Your Home

The Hidden Cost of Water Damage

Water is one of the leading causes of home insurance claims in Canada, and the average claim costs over $13,000 according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. What starts as a small, hidden leak behind a washing machine, under a sink, or near a water heater can lead to significant structural damage, ruined flooring, and even dangerous mould growth.

Even more concerning? Many leaks go unnoticed for hours—or days—especially when homeowners are away. The result is not only expensive repairs but also higher insurance premiums and the loss of irreplaceable belongings.

Early Detection Saves Thousands

That’s where the Water Tile Sensor comes in. This small but powerful device integrates directly with your monitored security system to provide early leak detection and instant alerts. When moisture is detected, it sends a signal through your security network—promptly notifying you through our mobile app and your 24/7 local monitoring station.

By catching leaks early, you can turn off the water supply, contact a plumber, and stop the damage before it starts. It’s one of the simplest and smartest ways to protect your home investment.

Where to Use a Water Tile

The Water Tile is discreet, battery-powered, and can be placed virtually anywhere that leaks might occur. Some of the best spots include:

  • Under sinks and vanities
  • Behind dishwashers or washing machines
  • Near sump pumps or water heaters
  • In basements or bathrooms prone to flooding

A few strategic placements can provide complete peace of mind—especially when you’re away from home. 

When it comes to home security, many homeowners think, “It won’t happen to me.” But sometimes, things go differently than expected, and a reliable monitoring service can make all the difference.
