Even a minor, hidden water leak untreated can result in major mold problems, and thousands of dollars in damage. And a severely mold-contaminated house can’t be lived in or sold! Once moisture combines with dust or mold-friendly materials like drywall, mold can start growing and spreading in as little as 24-48 hours. Use this Water Alarm to help prevent costly mold and water damage which may not be covered by insurance. Just place the sensor (suction cup up) under a sink, water heater, next to your sump pump, or anywhere else an unexpected water leak may occur. The 85 decibel alarm will sound (for up to 3 days) if water bridges between the two contacts. The alarm can be table, shelf, or wall mounted away from the sensor.
