The $10,000 Drip: Why Small Leaks Matter

Even small leaks can cost big money. The Insurance Bureau of Canada says the average cost of a water damage claim is over $10,000. Most of these start with something simple — a loose fitting under the sink, a cracked hose behind the washing machine, or a slow drip from a pipe hidden in a wall.

Even minor leaks can lead to significant expenses. The Government of Canada reports that the average cost to repair a flooded basement exceeds $43,000.

Installing leak detection sensors in high-risk areas such as under sinks, near water heaters, and behind appliances can provide early warnings. These sensors alert you at the first sign of moisture, allowing for prompt action to prevent extensive damage.
