Flood or water sensors are small devices placed near areas in your home that are prone to flooding or leaks. If water is detected, it will sound an alarm so you can act quickly before serious damage occurs.
Vivint Water Sensors expand protection from water damage with the following:
Moisture monitoring. They alert you of excess moisture before even water is detected. You can take action before a minor leak becomes a major issue.
Temperature monitoring. Freezing temps can quickly lead to burst pipes and costly damage. Vivint Water Sensors detect drops in temperature, notifying you before costly damage occurs.
Alerts and notifications. An alarm doesn't help when you're not around to hear it. If a Vivint Water Sensor goes off, you'll immediately be alerted on your smartphone.
We have reviewed water loss claims data to help prioritize where water sensors should be placed to avoid the costliest home damage.
While these are some of the most common sources of standing water and leaks, it’s not an exhaustive list — water damage can occur throughout your home from multiple sources. A Vivint professional will help you determine the best locations for water sensors in your home.
Simple. Water sensors do the work. Place them next to appliances, toilets, pipes, or basement windows that could potentially leak. The sensors detect increases in moisture and water before serious damage occurs and notify you via your smartphone. Early detection gives you the opportunity to quickly address the situation and fix the issue before things get out of hand, saving you time, money and headaches.
Water leak sensors are small devices that monitor the presence of water, moisture and, in some cases, temperature levels. Placed in areas of your home prone to leaks or flooding, they’ll alert you if moisture, water or freezing temperatures are detected so you can take action before a pipe bursts or costly water damage occurs.
Choose Vivint for professional installation and round-the-clock-monitoring.
Protect your property with a camera that actively deters lurkers with light and sound and sends you notifications so you always know what's happening outside your home.
Lock up with the press of a button or right form the Vivint app. With smart locks, you can set your system to arm when you lock the door, and know who's coming and going with unique access codes.
See what happened inside your home, day or night. Watch recorded video to capture break-ins or just relive the day's best moments.

Haven’t had any reason to use it yet. I’m sure it’s equally as reliable as the rest of your products.

i feel this will be a good product for me as my hot water heater is 20yrs old and this will provide some assurance that hopefully I'll be able to catch a bad situation in time.

This was a nice part of the basic package that we hope we never have to use! I'm hoping it will give us a discount on our homeowner's insurance.

I think you should create a water sensor that can be put under the crawl space of a home to alert for water leaked under a house that can cause major damage & costly repairs
