- Near water heaters, as they can develop cracks or leaks over time.
- Under or next to sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and showers as they are prone to clogging and overflowing.
- Next to washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and other appliances that use water, as they can malfunction or leak.
- In the basement, especially near sump pumps, drains, and pipes, as they can flood due to heavy rain or burst pipes.
- In the attic, crawl space, or garage, as they can have hidden leaks or condensation that can cause mold or damage.
- Near windows, doors, and skylights, as they can leak during storms or due to poor sealing.
- If you have a swamp cooler, put one near that.
- Probably put one near your main water line.
- Probably consider putting one under anywhere that you know has a pipe joint. This happened to me recently…one of the joints had the sealant weaken and start leaking and a leak detector saved me a lot of damage! See the following: Leak detected and siren woke the dead! - #41 by carverofchoice
The Probe will let you get a sensor into smaller tight cracks and fit under things.
