Flood detector
Flooding caused by taps left running unattended, a blocked toilet or a leaking pipe can mean costly repair bills and create potentially dangerous conditions that could result in a slip or fall or damp related health conditions.
Once installed in the bathroom or kitchen, the flood detector provides an early warning of a possible flood situation before it causes extensive damage to carpets, decor or electrical equipment.
