Every year, flood conditions cause more than $2 billion in property damages in the United States. If you live in a high risk area, your home has a 26% chance of being damaged by a flood during the course of your 30-year mortgage. Even if your location is not commonly at risk for flooding, certain areas of the home may require flood protection. Laundry rooms, mechanical rooms, basements, bathrooms and kitchens can all be at risk of flooding if faucets are prone to drip or water valves unexpectedly malfunction.

What’s the solution? High water monitoring, which is a device that allows your alarm system to notify you when unwanted water conditions, are present. If you are away from home when water rises, the sensor will trigger an event and the central station will be notified right away. Our operator will contact you immediately, so you can take action before it is too late. For our Total Connect customers, you can receive instant high water notification via email to your mobile device or office computer.

High water monitoring can be a valuable investment for business owners as well. Our commercial customers use this service to ensure that they are made aware of rising water before inventory, server rooms, filing cabinets or other property damage can occur.
