Happened to us last month. Went into garage and noticed water on the floor. Opened the adjoining closet and saw a leak atop the water heater. Turned off main and called Munns. Even tho it was a Sunday they were out in 2 hours. A fitting was bad and replaced. If I did not catch it when I luckily did… yikes

I went onto Amazon and ordered and installed a Water Detection System. $50. Well spent. Easy install. I have the 4 sensors installed by the fridge, washing machine, water heater, and dishwasher. It senses 24x7x365. Loud alarm if sensing a leak and a warning to your Smartphone if away. Links to your Wifi.

There are many systems but this is the one I got. $50.

DENFOON WiFi Water Leak Sensor 4 Pack, Water Leak Detector 110dB Alarm and App Alerts Detector for Home, Basement
Check out YoLink. I bought a 4 pack with Hub on Amazon for $79. Easy install. I have the app on my phone that alerts me if it detects water. The sensors are on top of the unit which is about 1/8 of an inch high. So make sure you place the sensor directly under where you might expect water to leak.
