You’ve just pulled into the driveway, still glowing from a relaxing weekend at the coast… only to find water streaming down the pavement. Your home? Flooded. And not in the fun, poolside kind of way.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a rare story. At Radiant, we’ve heard it far too many times—homeowners returning from vacation to find their home waterlogged, with massive damage caused by a silent, undetected leak.
It doesn’t take long for a small plumbing issue to become a major problem. That’s why leak detection isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
When Good Plumbing Goes Bad
We rely on plumbing every day, but even good systems can fail. The most common culprits for water damage? Water heaters, toilets, and washing machines. These appliances are workhorses, but when they go out, they tend to go big.
And here’s the worst part: you don’t need a dramatic pipe burst to face serious damage. A slow, hidden leak can cause more destruction over time than a single flood—especially when mold gets involved.
Yes, We Said It—Mold
It’s the four-letter word no homeowner wants to hear. Mold can grow from tiny, unnoticed leaks, and remediation isn’t cheap. Those hidden drips under your flooring or behind walls can go unnoticed for months—or years—until the damage is done.
How Leak Detection Systems Work
Radiant installs smart leak detection systems like Flood Stopper and WaterCop—technologies designed to stop disaster before it starts. These systems detect water leaks and automatically shut off your home’s water supply, protecting your property even when you’re away.
Leak detectors are your home’s plumbing alarm system. Just like fire, carbon monoxide, or security alarms, they’re built to protect what matters most—your home and your peace of mind.
Protect Your Home Before It’s Too Late
Whether you’ve experienced a flood or want to make sure you never do, leak detection is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. A Radiant plumber can walk you through your options and help you choose the system that’s right for your home.
