Water damage is one of the most expensive disasters a homeowner can face. A burst pipe or slow leak can cause mold, sheetrock replacement, insulation damage, and thousands of dollars in repairs — especially in Florida’s humidity.
This real case in Boca Raton shows how a FloLogic leak detection system and a Smart, experienced Home Watch inspector from Safe Home Management worked together to prevent a catastrophe.
It Started with a FloLogic Alert
One afternoon, Safe Home Management received a notification from FloLogic that water was running continuously in a home we monitor. Within 15 minutes, FloLogic automatically shut off the main water line to prevent flooding.
The homeowners use a pool auto-filler and prefer not to leave the main valve shut, so our inspector immediately went to the property.
On arrival, everything looked dry:
✔ No water on the floor
✔ No running toilets
✔ No dripping faucets
✔ No visible signs of a leak
Yet the FloLogic app still showed water flow, and the city meter was spinning. Something serious was happening — but it was completely invisible.
Professional Home Watch Matters: The Brain Behind the System
This is where professional Home Watch makes the difference.
Safe Home Management did not just rely on technology. Our inspector used critical thinking and years of experience to investigate the issue.
He did not leave after one visit.
He returned, watched the meter, turned water on and off, and spent days analyzing the problem.
This is exactly why absentee homeowners need a trusted Home Watch company in Boca Raton:
Anyone can get an alert. Not everyone knows what to do when it happens.
A Hidden Leak the Utility Company Could Not Find
We shut off the water and called the utility company. They confirmed possible water loss and suspected an underground leak — but could not locate anything.
Still, the meter continued to move.
For days, the inspector stayed on this case:
Testing every fixture
Inspecting the exterior
Checking appliances
Monitoring the meter
Watching water usage patterns
There was no water on any floors, no staining, no smell, no puddles — nothing.
This was a leak nobody could see.
The Critical Question That Solved It
Finally, we asked the homeowners:
“Has any plumbing work been done recently?”
They recalled that on their previous visit, they took out their old boiler from the attic and set up a new tankless water system on the opposite side of the attic.
That was the turning point!
Climbing Into the Attic — Where the Leak Was Hiding
Knowing the plumbing must travel somewhere, our inspector climbed into the attic with the FloLogic app in hand. He turned the water back on remotely.
Within seconds, he heard it:
💧 Drip… drip… drip onto the insulation.
A coupling from the recent installation had come loose. The leak was dripping down through the insulation with no visible surface signs.
If this continued for days, the homeowner would have faced:
Mold infestation
Sheetrock collapse
Wood rot
Ceiling repairs
And a $20,000–$30,000 loss
FloLogic + Safe Home Management
= Money Saved
Because FloLogic shut off the water in 15 minutes, the attic never became saturated. Safe Home Management contacted a plumbing company immediately and had the pipe repaired.
The homeowner had:
✔ No damage
✔ No mold
✔ No drywall repairs
✔ No insurance claim
This incident paid for the FloLogic system instantly.
Why This Matters for Florida Homeowners
Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Parkland, and surrounding areas are full of:
Snowbird homes
Seasonal residents
Empty homes for months at a time
A small leak can go unnoticed for days.
But when you have:
👉 FloLogic Boca Raton
👉 A local Home Watch inspector who uses his brain
👉 A company that stays on the case until it’s solved
You prevent disasters before they begin.
Without Safe Home Management, This Leak Would Have Been Missed
A lesser company may have left after one visit.
Our inspector stayed with the issue for days, thinking, searching, climbing into the attic, and using technology to track the problem. This is true Home Watch:
Not babysitters
Not drive-by checkers
