How to prevent water damage and mold in the buildings with IoT sensors
Property damages caused by water and mold are often costly affairs for insurance companies. If mold starts to grow, it can cause critical health issues for the people exposed to it as well as severe damages to the building. With the help of IoT sensors, you can provide your policyholders with early water leak detection and prevent mold from growing at their property.
The time between a leak occurs and when it is discovered largely determines the scale of the damage. With IoT sensors placed in critical locations in the buildings of your policyholders, e.g. near pipes and in basements, your insurance company can help minimize water damages that will eventually lead to costly payouts. Even more, you can take preventive actions towards mold by offering your policyholders devices that monitor humidity levels in their building. By detecting humidity levels and getting notifications if the indoor environment is bad, your policyholder can take the necessary precautions to prevent mold from growing.
Water Leak Detector: Early detection of leakages
The Water Leak Detector is ideal for early water leak detection. The Zigbee sensor is designed for private homes, camping trailers, caravans, and garages. When water is detected, the device emits a loud sound using the built-in 85 dB siren, and a notification is pushed to your policyholders when the sensor is integrated into an insurtech solution.

Smart Humidity Sensor: Prevents mold from growing
Most homeowners do not think about mold until it has become a problem. However, by taking preventive measures towards mold, you can avoid adverse health effects caused by mold among your policyholders. The Smart Humidity Sensor alerts your policyholders in case the indoor humidity fluctuates to undesirable levels. In addition to preventing severe health issues, the sensor helps prevent humidity damage to houses and valuable household items such as fine arts or musical instruments. The Smart Humidity Sensor is Zigbee-based and can be used to activate an existing ventilation system, thermostat, air-condition, or portable heater within an insurtech solution.
