Water Leak and Freeze Detector
The Water Leak and Freeze Detector are installed near appliances and if a leak is detected, the user is alerted
In the U.S., water damage claims are among the most filed residential property insurance claims and represent an estimated $26 Billion in damages for single-family homeowners. Previously, USAA offered Resideo's WiFi Water Leak and Freeze Detectors to its Homeowners policyholders in select markets through its Connected Home Platform, a technology-enabled loss prevention program.
The Water Leak and Freeze Detector is installed near appliances and if a leak is detected, the user is alerted. After the success of the initial program, USAA has extended the offerings to all USAA members, who can then control the comfort of their homes and be informed of water leaks through the Resideo app.
USAA's Connected Home Program
"USAA is committed to providing industry-pioneering connected home devices to help our members in their everyday lives," said Ryan Rist, USAA Assistant Vice President of Innovation.
"We have worked closely with Resideo Technologies to help launch USAA's Connected Home Program so our members can adopt new protective technologies, like the First Alert WiFi Water Leak & Freeze Detector, to help secure their homes against water damage." Resideo's Honeywell Home smart thermostat and First Alert WiFi Water Leak & Freeze Detector are available to USAA PERKS members.
