PHLYSENSE In Action

The video and following stories from PHLYSense members detail how the program saved their organizations thousands of dollars in potential losses.

An urgent water alert was sent to a PHLYSense member. The alert was coming from a basement sewer drain located within an apartment building. The sewer drain had backed up causing a small amount of water to accumulate. Although a small amount of water had leaked, if it had continued to leak unchecked, it could have flowed to a nearby elevator pit causing electrical damage.
Losses Avoided: Over $48,000

The HVAC unit overflowed, triggering a water alert. The insured cleaned up the water and drained the condensate tray, preventing water damage and mold, as well as potential business interruption.
Losses Avoided: Over $56,000

A church received an urgent water alert for a men's bathroom. The PHLYSense member learned that a child had left the water running in the sink. The customer was able to respond and clean up the area. If the alert had not been sent, mold damage could have resulted and interrupted church services.
Losses Avoided: Over $35,000

A sprinkler pipe broke in the sprinkler room of a building. An urgent water leak alert was sent, and the maintenance staff was able to respond and repair the pipe.
Losses Avoided: Over $75,000

Alert Types

Water Leak Alerts

Place devices in areas where water leaks can occur, such as near boilers, toilets, and sprinkler risers or on a flat surface where water is likely to flow, such as a low spot.

  • Alerts are triggered when the sensor detects the presence of water.

Low Temperature Alerts

Place the device in areas where low temperatures could cause pipes to burst due to freezing.

  • These alerts are triggered when temperatures fall below approximately 45 degrees F and external weather conditions are below freezing.

High Temperature Alerts

Place the device in areas where high temperatures could be detrimental, such as equipment and server rooms.

  • These alerts are triggered when temperatures rise above approximately 120 degrees F.
