Tech isn't perfect, but catching stuff early makes our job easier and your wallet happier.

Yeah, sensors are handy, but they're just step one. I've seen customers get alerts for tiny leaks they wouldn't notice otherwiseβ€”like a dripping faucet under the sink. Tech won't fix it for you, but spotting it early beats dealing with water damage later... trust me on that one.

Yeah, totally agree with this. I put sensors in last year, and they've already saved me from a bigger headache. Got an alert about moisture under the dishwasherβ€”turned out to be a loose hose connection. Easy fix, but if I'd missed it... could've been pricey. Like you said:

"spotting it early beats dealing with water damage later..."

Definitely worth the peace of mind, even if tech isn't foolproof.

Couldn't agree moreβ€”tech isn't perfect, but it sure beats the old "wait till tenants call panicking" method. Had a sensor catch a slow drip behind a bathroom vanity once... saved me from mold city. Worth every penny for the sleep alone, honestly.

Yeah, sensors are a lifesaver for catching those sneaky leaks early. But one thing I've noticed is that some property owners get overly reliant on tech and skip regular visual inspections altogether. Had a client once who ignored routine checks because "the app didn't alert me," and ended up with a hidden pipe corrosion issue. Tech's great, but it's not foolproof. Curious if anyone's found a good balance between trusting the sensors and still doing manual checks now and then?

Totally agreeβ€”tech is helpful, but it's meant to complement regular inspections, not replace them entirely. I've found that scheduling visual checks quarterly works pretty well. Sensors can miss subtle issues like slow corrosion or minor drips behind walls, especially if they're not positioned perfectly. Had a similar situation once where the sensor was fine, but a small leak was quietly damaging drywall for months. Regular manual checks would've caught it way sooner...lesson learned the hard way.
