Flood Detection
“Water Bugs” Used In Home Flood Detection?
Did you know a monitored home security system from ATP Alarms could provide early detection of a flood and consequentially save you thousands of dollars ? Would you like an early notification that a pipe is leaking? In many areas of our country, many homeowners face high risks of flooding. Additionally, many areas are extremely cold, resulting in pipes potentially bursting. As the weather becomes more and more unpredictable and severe, the frequency of flooding will increase and there will be increased damaged to pipes. I am sure many of you reading are already facing higher insurance premiums as a result of the increased probability of flooding. Would you like to reduce your insurance cost ? Would you like early detection of flooding so you can limit the amount of damage?
ATP Alarms offers a very simple solution—a “ water bug ”. At no additional monthly monitoring cost , a homeowner can have this water bug sensor installed in their basement and in other locations that are prone to potential flooding or water damage. The water bug is designed to detect moisture . If this happens, it will trigger the alarm and you will also receive a phone call from the monitoring station to inform you of the situation and a text if you have Total Connect configured. Although this is great for when you are home (you receive immediate notification of a water leak rather than having to accidently discover a burst pipe or a flood), the urgency is greater when you are away. By receiving this call from our UL listed monitoring station , you will have the opportunity to rush home or contact a family member, friend or neighbor to help you with the situation. This is much better than coming home from a nice vacation to a flooded basement. This could potentially save your home !

Upon occasion, people may use the argument— I have insurance ! This is one objection that I cannot understand. Have you ever tried to deal with an insurance company? I have and in my experience many will do anything possible to deny your claim , which really is the adjusters job. Also, you need to go through all the work of taking pictures and cataloguing at the damage to your items. In addition, when it comes to repairing your property, you may not even be able to use the contractor of your choice! Let’s say the insurance company accepts your entire claim, you still need to take the time to replace all of the items! All this in mind, isn’t it better to be proactive and catch the flood / leak before it gets out of control. For a one time equipment and installation cost, you might be able to save your property and items from a water damage nightmare !
