Water Leak Alarm Offers Peace of Mind for South Florida Residents

June 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Lake Worth, FL -- According to The Chubb Corporation, nearly 40% of all homeowners experience some form of water damage during the course of home ownership. With many of these incidents occurring from leaking pipes or appliances, the need for water leak prevention and protection is essential. With this in mind, a South Florida company is now offering the Water Guardian, a water leak protection system for homeowners, condo owners and property managers.

The Water Guardian offers a proprietary system that detects leaks and then automatically shuts off a water supply at its source. The unit can be wired to an existing alarm panel or home security system, notifying a monitoring station or designated party in the event of a leak.

“This is a state-of-the-art system that is essential for property owners here in Florida, particularly those who have multi-story units,” said Randy Himmelheber, founder of Accel Distributors, LLC, an exclusive South Florida distributor of the Water Guardian, a product of R.G.A Security Consultants.

“For a small investment, a significant amount of money can be saved if a water leak occurs,” he added.

The Water Guardian consists of multiple parts, including a wireless water sensor, water sensor probe, stainless steel water valve and a wireless water valve controller. Sensors are placed throughout a property where leaks are most likely to occur, offering round-the-clock monitoring.

When the system detects a leak, the sensors transmit a signal to the valve controller, shutting off the water supply and preventing a leak from getting worse. The quick action will save drywalls, carpeting, cabinetry, tile floors, furniture and prevent future onset of damaging mold.

In many cases, the Water Guardian can also save property owners money on their insurance premiums.

With moisture damage a common occurrence in Florida, Himmelheber is stressing the need for Water Guardian systems for all South Florida residences.

“This is the type of product that people realize they need only when it’s too late,” he noted. “Property owners need to be aware that something like this is available so they can take preventative measures to protect themselves from costly water damage. It’s like having a full-time plumber in your residence to check for leaks while you’re away.”

Accel Distributors is currently offering a one year replacement warranty for its systems, along with an easy installation process.
