For real. Less than six months after taking possession and moving into my house my water sensor started screaming at me from the laundry room that my water heater line-in had catastrophically failed and soaked about three tiles worth of the attached kitchen floor before I could shut it off

“Water sensor”? What is this device I’m too poor to know existed until just now?

It is a component of a SimplySafe alarm system. You place it on the floor near a potential leak source and it triggers the alarm if any water flows beneath it.

Yeah in my situation I can usually tell if there’s a “potential leak” by the amount of water flooding the living room floor.

It’s the “cross your fingers and pray your house holds together” way of life I’m used to.

Well, my water heater in the laundry room is in the opposite end of the house from the living area so any kind of warning speed enhancement is worth having
