How Smart Water Sensors Can Protect Your South Jersey Home
In South Jersey, storm season brings more than just heavy rain and high winds—it brings the risk of flooded basements, damaged plumbing, and costly repairs. But what if your home could alert you the moment a leak starts — even when you are not there?
At Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we’re helping homeowners across Cape May County and South Jersey take a smarter approach to storm prep with leak detection systems and smart water sensors from trusted brands like Moen and Resideo [formerly Honeywell].
What Is a Leak Detection System?
Leak detection systems monitor your home’s plumbing in real time and notify you if something goes wrong — whether it’s a small drip under the sink or a burst pipe in the basement.
Systems like Flo by Moen and Resideo Water Leak & Freeze Detectors can even shut-off your water automatically if a major leak is detected, preventing further damage before you even get home.
Why You Need a Leak Detector—Especially Before a Storm
Heavy rain and storms increase the likelihood of:
- Flooded basements
- Sump pump failure
- Frozen or burst pipes
- Sewer backups
- Leaks from compromised plumbing joints
Leak detection systems give you an early warning, helping prevent thousands of dollars in damage and giving you peace of mind during unpredictable weather in Ocean City, and all the surrounding areas..
How a Leak Detector Works
Broadley’s installs whole-home water detection systems and smart leak sensors in key areas such as:
- Under sinks
- Near water heaters and HVAC systems
- Around sump pumps
- Behind washing machines
- In basements or crawl spaces
These sensors connect to your smartphone through a mobile app, giving you instant alerts, water usage insights, and even remote water shutoff capabilities depending on the system installed.
Moen Flo and Resideo: Smart, Reliable Protection
