WATER SENSOR DIVERTS DISASTER: A CASE STUDY

The Leak
One fall night, Ken Nichols woke to an alarm coming from the Alula home security panel. He quickly noticed that a flood and temperature sensor in the basement had generated the alert. He jumped from the bed and headed downstairs. On the way to the basement door, he saw water across the kitchen floor. Ken continued down into the basement for the water shutoff valve.
