This presentation discusses the extent of the plumbing leaks in American homes. The problem is not limited to very old homes. It also introduces you to a technology solution to help identify leaks early before they do much damage.

1. Water leaks
Should you be worried?

2. Water leaks in homes
and businesses are on the rise.
Why?

3. The quick answer is homes are aging and no
one is really paying attention to pipes.

4. Literally the problem is “out-of-sight so out-
of-mind”.

5. Home and business owners don't see the
water pipes so they don’t think about them.

6. Because the problem is being ignored, its not
going away.
It is going to hurt later.

7. A vast majority of pipe ruptures begin with a
small leak that goes undetected for days,
weeks and even months.

8. What if you could catch that small leak early
enough to get the plumbing repaired before
the damage is widespread and expensive?

9. Property damage would be reduced,
keepsakes and heirlooms would be safe, and
mold would be prevented!

10. So how bad is the water leak problem?

11. Insurance claims for water damage caused by
leaky and ruptured pipes is on the rise.

12. Water leaks are a far greater risk to damaging
a home than theft.

13. • Insurance claims caused by water damage is the 2nd most frequent
claim and quickly approaching the 2nd most costly claim.

Water damage 1.86 $7,958
Theft 0.47 $3,786
Water damage claims
increasing since 2010
• Water damage is a far greater risk than home theft. Yet most of the
technology has been focusing on security systems and cameras.

Water leaks are the 2nd most frequent claim
and almost the 2nd most costly claim.

14. Despite water leaks being a greater risk to the
home than theft, home owners and
technology advancements have focused on
anti-theft security systems.

15. Shouldn’t you add a security system for your
water pipes?

16. SO, what is the real reason water leaks are on
the rise?

17. Is it poor workmanship? Possibly

18. Is it poor quality materials? Possibly

19. Is it contaminants in the water? Possibly

20. The fact is homes are getting older.

21. So the best workmanship,
highest quality products
and completely clean water
will just prolong the inevitable.

22. YOUR PIPES WILL LEAK

23. YOUR PIPES WILL LEAK

24. The median age of a home is 35 years

25. The useful life of copper pipes is
about 50 years.

26. Because of hard water and alkalinity,
substandard materials,
and poor construction workmanship,
the expected life of pipes is between
30 to 40 years.

27. Thus most homes are approaching or
exceeded the expected life of their plumbing.

28. What happens if you have a newer home
built with polybutylene aka plastic pipes?

29. The expected life of these plastic pipes is less;
with estimates being as low as 15-20 years.

30. Introducing the
Intellecy Smart Water Meter
with Leak Protect

31. The Smart Water Meter with Leak Protect
comes with a sensor that mounts directly
over your pipe

32. — no cutting of the pipe and no plumbing
skills needed.

33. It senses the flow of water to help you
manage your water.

34. It will let you know how much water you are
using

35. and let you set water saving goals.

36. This will help you lower your water bill.

37. This will help you your water bill.
lower

38. Because it tracks water flow when a new
signal is detected, the user will be alerted of
the possible leak.

39. The alert is sent to your smartphone, text,
and email.

40. The device also lights up and sounds an
alarm.

41. You’ll know about the leak 24/7
from anywhere.

42. Its that simple and its that good!

43. Its that simple and its that good!
