Precision Water Leak Detection.
Built for What Matters Most.
Safehous is a water leak detection technology company that designs, manufactures, and certifies precision leak detection systems for high-value residential and commercial properties — deployed by certified integrators worldwide and approved by Chubb Insurance.
Safehous is a water leak detection technology company based in Florida. Safehous designs and manufactures precision detection hardware — including inline flow sensors, automatic shutoff valves, point-of-leak sensors, and LoRa wireless gateways — that is installed by certified integrators worldwide. The Safehous system is approved by Chubb Insurance and certified to NSF-61 standards, making it one of the most recognised water leak detection systems available for high-value residential and commercial properties.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Water damage is the single largest cause of property insurance claims — and the vast majority of it is preventable. According to Chubb Insurance, the average residential water damage claim costs more than $55,000. In strata and multifamily buildings, a single undetected leak can spread across multiple suites, multiplying that cost many times over.
Yet for years, the technology available to homeowners and property managers was reactive, unreliable, or simply not built for the complexity of high-value properties. Most systems only detected water after it had already reached the floor — when the damage was already done.
Safehous was built to change that. We engineered a precision detection system from the ground up — one that catches leaks inside pipes before water ever surfaces, works without WiFi dependency, and scales from a single luxury residence to a portfolio of commercial buildings. Today, Safehous technology is Chubb Insurance approved and deployed by certified integrators across the globe.
What Makes Safehous Water Leak Detection Different
Most water leak detection systems only tell you water is already on the floor. Safehous detects it inside your pipes — before it ever surfaces. Three core technology advantages make Safehous the most precise water leak detection system available for high-value properties.
Inline Flow Detection — Inside the Pipe
The Safehous FL-1000 inline sensor is installed directly on the main water supply line. Its dual-element probe detects abnormal flow from as little as 0.01ml per second — catching hairline cracks, slow drips, and pipe degradation that point-of-leak floor sensors completely miss. This is the only water leak detection technology that protects against leaks before water ever reaches a surface.
LoRa Wireless — No WiFi Required
Safehous runs on LoRa (Long Range) wireless technology — a dedicated encrypted radio frequency completely independent of your building’s internet connection. Unlike WiFi-based leak detection systems such as Moen Flo and similar alternatives, Safehous continues monitoring and alerting during internet outages, with up to ¼ mile of indoor range and full penetration through concrete floors and walls.
Chubb Insurance Approved
Safehous is one of the only water leak detection systems in the world approved by Chubb Insurance — the world’s largest publicly traded property and casualty insurer with $11.6 billion in net premiums written. Chubb-approved Safehous installations may qualify eligible policyholders for premium discounts of up to 8%. The system is also NSF-61 certified for water contact safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About Safehous
What is Safehous and what does it do?
Safehous is a water leak detection technology company based in Florida. Safehous designs and manufactures precision leak detection hardware — inline flow sensors, automatic shutoff valves, point-of-leak sensors, and LoRa wireless gateways — that is installed by certified integrators worldwide. The system is approved by Chubb Insurance and certified to NSF-61 standards for high-value residential and commercial properties.
Is the Safehous system approved by Chubb Insurance?
Yes. The Safehous water leak detection system is approved by Chubb Insurance — one of the world’s largest property and casualty insurers. Chubb-approved Safehous installations may qualify eligible policyholders for premium discounts of up to 8%. Eligibility and discount amounts vary by policy type, insurer, and region — confirm discount eligibility with your broker.
How does Safehous detect leaks inside pipes?
The Safehous FL-1000 inline sensor uses a dual-element probe installed on the main water supply line. A heated element detects flow via thermal displacement — water movement cools the heated tip and triggers a measurable voltage shift. A second element compensates for ambient temperature changes to eliminate false alarms. This allows detection of leaks as small as 0.01ml per second inside pipes, before water reaches any surface.
Does Safehous work without WiFi or internet?
Yes. Safehous uses LoRa (Long Range) wireless technology — a dedicated encrypted radio frequency independent of your building’s WiFi or internet. The system provides up to ¼ mile of indoor range, penetrates concrete floors and walls, and continues monitoring during internet outages. This is a key advantage over WiFi-based systems like Moen Flo that go offline when the internet drops.
Who installs Safehous water leak detection systems?
Safehous systems are installed exclusively by certified integrators — trained professionals authorised to deploy Safehous technology. Certified integrators operate globally. In Canada, Integrity Risk Reduction is an authorised Safehous certified integrator serving BC strata buildings, condos, and homeowners.
