Test smart leak sensors
Why it matters
Smart leak detector pucks are battery-powered and fail silently when the battery dies, leaving you with zero warning of a water leak at the dishwasher, toilet, or water heater. Regular testing ensures the sensor detects water and sends alerts before water damage occurs.
