Flood & Water Leak Detector
Most water damage doesn't start with a flood, it starts with a small leak that goes unnoticed for days or weeks. The Monitoring Center's Leak/Flood & Temp Detection sensor is a compact device that watches for water, extreme heat, and freezing temperatures in one device.

Leak/Flood & Temp Detection
Most water damage happens slowly and out of sight, behind a washing machine, under a water heater, or in a basement nobody checks daily. By the time it's noticeable, the repair bill can run into the thousands. Installing a device like this is one of the more affordable additions to an existing alarm system.
It supports home flood protection by catching a leak within minutes instead of days. This kind of water damage prevention often pays for itself the first time it catches a problem early.
- Water, high-temperature, and low-temperature sensing
- No tape, no screws — wall clip install
- Titanium probes that resist corrosion
- IP67 rated waterproof housing
What This Flood & Water Leak Detector Monitors
Here is what this device watches for. As part of a broader alarm water sensor lineup, this device reports each condition separately to TMC's monitoring center.
| Condition | What It Detects | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Standing Water | Contact with a thin layer of water | Catches leaks from pipes, appliances, and sump pump failures |
| High Heat | Temperatures rising above a safe range | Can signal a failing water heater |
| Freezing Temps | Temperatures dropping low enough to risk frozen pipes | Gives you time to act before pipes burst |
Where to Install a Basement Flood Sensor
A few square feet near the right appliance is usually all it takes. Because it's a wireless flood detector, there's no need to run wiring to any of these spots; it communicates with your existing alarm panel wirelessly.
- Basements, especially near floor drains
- Water heaters and sump pumps
- Under kitchen and bathroom sinks
- Laundry rooms near washing machine hoses
How It Connects to Your Alarm System
Once installed, the sensor pairs wirelessly with your existing panel to become part of a complete water alarm system. Rather than a simple standalone alarm, it works as a smart water sensor. If it detects water, extreme heat, or freezing temperatures, the alert reaches your phone and TMC's monitoring center at the same time, using the same leak detection system logic as TMC's other environmental sensors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need more than one sensor?
Most homes use several, one near each major water source such as the water heater, washing machine, and any sump pump, since each flood detector only monitors its immediate area.
Does it need a power outlet?
No. It runs on batteries, so it can go anywhere water damage is a risk.
Will TMC's monitoring center be alerted automatically?
Yes. Once connected to your panel, water leak detection happens automatically and TMC is notified the moment a signal comes in.
