Most homeowners know when they have a major plumbing problem.

A burst pipe? You'll see it.

An overflowing toilet? You'll definitely know.

But some of the most expensive water damage starts with leaks that go unnoticed for days, weeks, or even months.

According to the EPA, household leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year. Even a small, hidden leak can damage drywall, flooring, cabinetry, insulation, and your home's structural components before you ever realize there's a problem.

That's why more Wichita homeowners are turning to smart leak detection technology like LeakSecure®.

The Hidden Cost of Water Leaks

Not every plumbing leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor.

Some common hidden leak locations include:

  • Behind walls
  • Under sinks
  • Beneath flooring
  • Around water heaters
  • Washing machine supply lines
  • Ice maker connections
  • Basement plumbing
  • Crawl spaces

A leak releasing just one drip per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water annually. Larger leaks can cause thousands of dollars in damage before they're discovered.

In many cases, homeowners first notice a problem when they see:

  • Water stains on ceilings
  • Warped flooring
  • Mold growth
  • Increased water bills
  • Musty odors

By then, the damage may already be extensive.

What Is LeakSecure?

LeakSecure® is a smart leak detection and automatic shutoff system designed to monitor your home's water usage around the clock.

Unlike traditional leak alarms that only notify you after water is present, LeakSecure® actively analyzes water flow throughout your plumbing system.

If the device detects abnormal water usage patterns that indicate a leak, it can automatically shut off your home's water supply before significant damage occurs.

Think of it as a security system for your plumbing.

How LeakSecure Works

The system is installed directly on your home's main water line.

Using advanced flow monitoring technology, LeakSecure® continuously measures:

  • Water flow rate
  • Pressure fluctuations
  • Continuous water usage
  • Potential leak events

When unusual activity is detected, the system can:

✔ Send alerts to your smartphone

✔ Monitor water usage remotely

✔ Identify potential plumbing leaks

✔ Automatically shut off water to help prevent damage

This technology helps homeowners respond to problems before they become emergencies.

Why Wichita Homeowners Are Installing Smart Leak Detection

Water damage claims remain one of the most common insurance claims filed by homeowners.

LeakSecure® offers several benefits:

Early Leak Detection

Many plumbing leaks begin small and gradually worsen over time. Detecting them early can significantly reduce repair costs.

Water Conservation

Leaks don't just damage homes, they waste water. By identifying hidden leaks quickly, homeowners can reduce unnecessary water usage and avoid inflated utility bills.

Protection During Vacations

One of the biggest concerns for homeowners is returning from a trip to find water damage. LeakSecure continues monitoring your plumbing system whether you're home, at work, or on vacation.

Added Peace of Mind

Many homeowners simply appreciate knowing their plumbing system is being monitored 24/7.

Who Should Consider LeakSecure?

LeakSecure® can benefit almost any homeowner, but it's especially valuable if you:

  • Own an older home
