LeakBot is a patented self-install solution that connects to the home wireless network and, if it detects a leak, notifies the customer via the LeakBot mobile app and provides access to a team of expert LeakBot engineers to 'find and fix' the problem. Independent research by Consumer Intelligence found LeakBot can reduce the cost of water damage claims by 70%.

LeakBot partners with 16 insurance carriers - including Nationwide, Admiral, Direct Line Group, Hiscox, Länsförsäkringar and TopDanmark - both in Europe and the USA.
