LeakLatch

LeakLatch is a mobile + web app that turns cheap, off-the-shelf leak sensors into a practical, insurer-friendly water-damage prevention system. Instead of trying to be a full smart-home hub (a losing battle against Apple/Google/Amazon), it focuses on one high-cost problem: hidden leaks and slow drips that become five-figure repairs. The app guides users to place sensors in high-risk spots (under sinks, water heater, washing machine), then monitors alerts, battery health, and signal reliability. It also creates a simple “proof of prevention” report (sensor uptime, incident history, response time) homeowners can share with landlords or insurance agents. Optional integrations can trigger a compatible smart shutoff valve, but the core value works without it. The product is built for reliability, not flashy automations, with aggressive alerting (SMS/phone call) and clear escalation rules.
