The leak detectors, called water alarms, are low tech. You can buy them on Amazon. They use a 9-volt battery and they will make a loud noise when you have 1/16 inches of water on the floor or in a sink cabinet. Mine were made by First Alert, but they are no longer available. However, there are several other companies that make them. I have one under every toilet, in every sink cabinet, in the water heater drain pan, behind the refrigerator and the washing machine. So far, they have alerted me to 2 leaks. Inexpensive peace of mind.
