You can buy about 6 or 7 battery operated water alarms from Amazon, and place them under toilets, sinks, water heater, refrigerator, washer, etc. It is not as good as a water sensor with shutoff, but it is an inexpensive way to notify you when there is water on the floor. Peace of mind, for about $100.
