Most every water leak leads to some amount of damage and extra costs. The key to mitigating the damage is catching them early. The Flood Buzz Water Leak Alarm can help.
Flood Buzz alarms are small but powerful devices that emit loud alarms as soon as water touches the bottom of the device. There are no moving parts, no extra components to break, nothing to install, and they are fully reusable with pre-installed batteries that last up to 3 years. The alarms have been successfully utilized in thousands of homes and facilities, saving owners and managers from the high costs of remediation and repair. According to Flood Buzz Marketing Director Kylie Scharf, necessity was the mother of this particular invention.
“Our founder was heading out of town on an international trip for two weeks and noticed a leak under the kitchen sink about an hour before leaving for the airport. Had he not noticed it, the leak could have done thousands of dollars in damage before his return,” she says. “He attempted to purchase a water leak alarm to prevent future issues, but found they were quite expensive, too large and clunky, and would require future battery changes that we were likely to forget. Our company was already working with contractor/builder professionals on a different product at the time. We were able to share initial ideas about Flood Buzz and work with them to gather inputs into our earliest designs.”
Flood Buzz units are available in four distinct models, each specifically designed to detect different types of leaks. Whether for use in a small space, such as under an apartment kitchen sink, or in commercial properties under HVAC units or water heaters, there is a Flood Buzz reusable water leak detector for any situation. Flood Buzz Pro models feature a space for a sticker so customers can easily call right after the water leak alarm sounds.
“Since the Flood Buzz Pro has an indent where plumbers can affix a sticker with their contact information, it serves as a marketing tool so the customers know who to call at the first sign of a water leak,” says Scharf. “We have received feedback from many of the large accounts we work with that this is such a simple but brilliant added value component of how they work with customers to ensure they are alerted the moment there is a leak — and most importantly, that the customer knows exactly who to contact.” 914-552-6692; www.floodbuzz.com
