The Govee detectors are cheap and can be placed in the most likely water leak or puddling locations. They're not good for unpredictable locations. However, would an abnormal flow rate detector alarm for slow leaks? Over a relatively short period of time, these slow leaks can do major damage.

For complete protection, I guess you'd need both types of systems.
