In North America, one out of every three homes are victims of water damage. The extensive damage caused by leaking and/or flooding can result in insurance claims upwards of $10,000, making water damage insurance claims the most expensive and common claim filed. And those numbers only count those that make the claim, since many homeowners fear raising their rates and paying costly deductibles.

If these numbers seem unrealistic to you, take into account how many water fixtures are in your home. Kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets, showers or tubs, refrigerators, washing machines and water heaters; all of these appliances can become the source of dangerous leaks or flooding. What can you do about it?

The best defense against water damage are devices and reporting systems that detect and report leaks and shut off water flow to limit potential damage.

This is where FortrezZ comes in. FortrezZ is one of the leading names in leak detection and flood prevention monitoring systems. They offer stand alone flood detection sensors and complete flood prevention kits.

Their flood prevention systems look for leaks and immediately shut-off your water to prevent or minimize damage. Their complete kit includes an electrically actuated water valve, leak detection sensors, and flow meters. When flood sensors detect leaks near water-using appliances, the sensors instruct the electric water valve and flow meters to close and seal off your water main to prevent further damage. The kits and devices can also be included into Z-Wave home automation networks to be controlled and monitored remotely.

FortrezZ flood prevention systems can be installed in any home, indoors or outdoors. Their devices and systems can operate on their own or as part of a Z-Wave network. Installing a FortrezZ flood prevention system will provide you the peace of mind knowing you will never have to deal with water damage again.
