Smart Leak Detector Decision Tool

Plumbing Risk Simulation & Net Cost-Benefit Engine

1. Home Plumbing & Hazard Mapping Moderate Risk
Click zone to toggle smart sensor puck Active Sensors: 5
Home Age 18 Years
Water Heater Tank Age 9 Years
Insurance Deductible $1,500
Sensor Hardware Count 5 Units
Smart Main Line Automatic Shutoff Valve Shuts off municipal water within 3 seconds of alert (e.g., Flo by Moen, Phyn)
Simulated Plumbing Event: Slow Pinhole vs. Tank Rupture Water Heater Bottom Seam Failure
Without sensors: Discovered after ~48 hours. Average repair cost: $14,000+ (Flooring, baseboards, drywall).
2. Verdict & 5-Year Financial Model High ROI
Decision Output Score: 68/100
Genuinely Useful Home Tech (Positive ROI)

Given your 9-year-old water heater and 18-year home age, the cumulative risk of an unchecked catastrophic pipe rupture or under-sink failure exceeds 68%. Smart sensors pay for themselves immediately by capping failure to minor cleanups before insurance deductibles kick in.
