My largest maintenance issues have been water related issues that went unnoticed until they became large issues. These usually start as a dripping pipe under a cabinet that a tenant doesn’t notice (or report) which grows into a larger issue over time.
I’ve been reading about various water sensors, remote water cut offs, humidity sensors, HVAC sensors and so on, and am interested in using these.
These seems like good long term costs to endure for a long term landlord. I am wondering if anyone has used these sensors, and if so what brand and how useful have you found these?
We have used simplisafe temp sensors for times when a home can't be winterized. This is to make sure the furnace is working and if not and the temp falls below X degrees we are notified and can catch it before pipes burst etc. They have worked great for our use.
