This practical leak detection device saves you from water damage

If you're a homeowner, water damage probably ranks pretty high on the list of concerns you have. But it doesn't have to be. If you set your home up with a few strategically placed water leak detectors, you can know about leaks before they cause real damage. And the SimpleSENCE Capteur has an extra-large detection zone thanks to its water sensing 'tail.' Check out this blog post to learn more about this practical smart home gadget.

Safeguard your home against water damage with the SimpleSENCE Capteur water leak detector. This practical leak detection device has a fully sensing three-foot tail that detects water along its length. Ask any homeowner and they’ll tell you water damage is no joke. Not only can it ruin your electric appliances, but it can also wreak havoc on your floors, walls, and even your electric wiring. Those things are expensive to repair, so water leaks are something you want to prevent at all costs. Thankfully, the SimpleSENCE Capteur can help.

The SimpleSENCE Capteur looks similar to a computer mouse. Its oblong body has a ‘tail,’ or cord, which is actually a three-foot sensor that detects water, giving you a sizeable total detection zone. Compact at just 4.2 inches long and 2.2 inches wide, this practical leak detection device fits in the tightest leak-prone spaces. And the long tail lets the SimpleSENCE Capteur go where few leak detectors can. So it’s a pretty useful gadget.

Let’s talk about the tail

Unfortunately, some leaks can go undetected for quite a while. By the time you notice it, the damage has been done, and your insurance company may or may not cover the repairs. SimpleSENCE Capteur’s Indigogo page writes that water damage caused by appliance leaks can cost upwards of $13,000. That’s a hefty price tag. But you don’t have to get stuck with it when you have this leak detection device. Thanks to its tail, you get a much larger leak detection range than the typical water-sensing devices out there. Plus, thanks to its larger zone, this device notifies you about leaks earlier. And with the included probe attachment, you can even place the SimpleSENCE Capteur in hard-to-access places like sump pump wells. It’s the smart home gadget every house needs.

Wi-Fi makes this leak detector tool simple and unhackable

Like most smart home appliances, the SimpleSENCE Capteur works via Wi-Fi. And, interestingly, it only syncs with your router for a few seconds every 25 hours, making it almost unhackable. The device sends you alerts by email, text, or both, and an onboard siren sounds when your phone is out of reach. Also, the easy-to-use app interface allows you to monitor your home and get immediate alerts 24 hours a day. So no matter where you are, you’ll know what your property’s water situation is.

This water leak detector is easy to set up

No, you won’t have to spend all weekend installing this leak detection device. In fact, it should only take a few minutes. Just sync it with your Wi-Fi router, then place it where you want to detect a leak. Next, pair the sensor with the SimpleSence app. Finally, set up your alert notification preferences, and you’re good to go. It’s never been easier to protect your home from water damage, and you’ll have all weekend to enjoy your backyard.

SimpleSENCE Capteur protects your entire home

You can’t always be at home, but the SimpleSENCE Capteur can. And you can set up this leak detection device in any area of the house. In the kitchen, you can place it under the sink, dishwasher return drain, or next to the fridge. In the laundry room, you can install it next to the washing machine. In the basement, it’s a great addition to your HVAC system, near windows, or next to your water heater. Anywhere you have the potential for water to enter your home, you can set up the SimpleSENCE Capteur.

You can’t freeze this tail off

Another home water concern is freezing pipes. If you’ve got pipes in an area of the house that you don’t really heat when a snowstorm hits, your pipes could freeze. And unfortunately, the pressure buildup can cause your pipes to burst, another costly repair. Luckily, the SimpleSENCE Capteur can also sense freezing conditions and sends you a notification well before the freezing actually happens. This should give you plenty of time to let the water drip or warm the pipes before they burst.

The SimpleSENCE Capteur is a handy device. It senses water in a large area thanks to its three-foot tail and conveniently notifies you via email, text, or both when it senses water that’s run amok. The device is easy to set up, and you can place it in pretty much any area where you want to prevent water damage. Finally, it can even identify freezing conditions, helping you prevent burst pipes. Every homeowner wants to ensure that their most valuable asset is safe. This leak detection device can help.

The SimpleSENCE Capteur water leak detector typically costs $70. You can currently preorder it on Indiegogo for $52. Are you a home-protection guru? Let us know about your favorite gadgets for preventing damage in the comment section.
