Wish I would have had water protection...my boiler sprung a leak.................
You know your right! This is a good reminder for
ALL OFF US. Boiler, hot water heater, washing machine hose, failed freezer, burst pipe, or rain water infiltration.... sooner or later we will have a wet floor.
Wether we use an
autoshutoff or just
a $10 noise maker or some combo Home Automation intergraded setup. We all need to exploit some sort of technology to help us monitor for ware damage.
I know my neighbors snickered at me when I pounded a hole in my basement floor and installed a pit and sump pump in my laundry room. None of our homes had ever taken in any real amount of rain water. But last spring sewer water backed up for the very first time ever on my street. I was one of the few that didn't lose carpet or furniture.
