The pressure drops before the storm.
Barometer watches the parts of your home you can't see, and tells you — and your own trusted contractor — before a small problem becomes a flooded basement.
The signal was there the whole time.
The sump pump had been working harder than usual for four days. A little more power. A little more often.
Nobody was looking.
On the fifth day, the basement flooded.
The same week, two ways.
- The first sign is water on the floor.
- You call whoever can come today.
- Emergency call-out, weekend rate.
- An insurance claim and a deductible.
- The first sign is a message on your phone.
- Your own contractor already knows.
- A booked appointment on a Tuesday.
- A repair.
What a flooded basement really costs you.
Insurance does not make you whole. Here is the part you pay.
You pay the first $1,000 to $2,500
That is your water deductible. It comes out of your pocket before insurance pays a cent. Some policies now start at $2,500.
Two claims and you can lose water cover
Insurers can renew you without water coverage, or not renew you at all. After that, the next flood is all yours.
Mould is often not covered
Water sitting for two days grows mould, and you pay to clean it up. Water found in two hours usually never gets that far.
Your rate goes up for years
One claim and you lose your claim-free discount. That shows up on every renewal after it, not just the next one.
You don't have to be handy
Almost nobody checks their water heater or tests their sump pump. Now it does not matter. We check every minute.
Away for the winter?
Many policies limit water coverage when a house sits empty in the cold. We watch it while you are gone, and your plumber is here even when you are not.
Four quiet sensors. That's all.
Under the water heater, and anywhere it shouldn't be.
Working normally, or working too hard.
Cold snaps that risk a burst pipe.
Slow damp that leads to mould.
A calm home screen. Not a control panel.
A calm week at home. Your sump pump ran twice on Tuesday after the rain — right on cue. Humidity in the basement crept up on Friday but settled overnight. Nothing needs your attention.
Green means we've checked everything in the last few minutes and nothing is off. That's the default.
Water, sump pump, temperature, humidity. One line each, no charts to read.
Every week, a friendly paragraph about your house. What ran, what the weather did, what to keep an eye on.
No cameras. No microphones. Ever.
- We only measure water, power draw, temperature and humidity.
- Your data is stored in Canada.
- You can have every record deleted on request.
We don't sell you anyone.
When something needs fixing, we tell the plumber or HVAC company you already trust. If you don't have one yet, we'll help you pick a local shop — but you're the one who chooses.
One flood you never have costs more than ten years of watching for it.
