Help and advice

These sensors may be ideal if you've found yourself forgetting to turn your taps off, and worry that if this happens again your sink or bath could overflow. However, these sensors will also alert you of burst pipes and leaks.

These sensors are usually placed on a flat surface under the sink or in the bathroom, under the bath, or behind the toilet. Two or more sensors may be required, e.g. one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen.

The system could be configured to sound an alert in the home to give a few minutes to take action to stop the flow of water. Then if water is still detected it could automatically alert the call centre. Alternatively the system can be configured to immediately alert both the user and call centre.

Flood alarms do not need to be part of a telecare system if all you need is a prompt to turn a tap off, certain devices will even turn your taps off automatically. View flood alarms and shut off valves which are NOT telecare enabled.
