WHY VANCOUVER HOMEOWNERS AND LANDLORDS ACT

One claim. Years of consequences.

Most water damage happens slowly — a drip behind a wall, a supply line failing under the sink. By the time you see it, the damage is already significant.

The average residential water claim costs over $55,000. And after a claim, your insurer raises your premium, increases your deductible, or doesn’t renew.

Slow leaks cause more damage than burst pipes

Pinhole leaks run for weeks before you see anything. By then, mould is growing inside your walls.

One claim changes your insurance relationship

After a water claim, premiums rise, deductibles increase, and some insurers add water exclusions or don’t renew.

For landlords: tenant displacement and lost income

Water damage in a rental means tenant displacement, weeks of restoration, and lost rental income.

No protection when you’re away

Most home water damage happens when no one is there. Automatic shutoff closes your supply the moment a sensor triggers.

The financial risk of one undetected leak.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Homeowner and landlord questions.

What Canadian homeowners and landlords ask before booking a home assessment.

What BC strata boards ask before booking an assessment.

It may. According to Chubb Canada, only 9% of Canadian homeowners have a water leak detection device installed — yet water damage is the leading cause of home insurance claims in Canada. Integrity Risk Reduction's SafeHous system is approved by Chubb Insurance with discounts of up to 8% available to eligible policyholders. BFL Canada's Flowguard programme offers up to 10% for qualifying properties. Confirm eligibility with your broker — it varies by insurer, policy type, and province.

According to Chubb Canada, the average residential water damage claim in Canada costs more than $55,000. Water damage is the single largest cause of home insurance claims in Canada — more than fire, theft, and liability combined. Most of that damage happens slowly and invisibly — a slow drip behind a wall or a supply line failing under a sink — running undetected for days before visible damage appears. Automatic shutoff systems stop the water within seconds of detection.

Yes. Integrity Risk Reduction's SafeHous system uses LoRa wireless technology — a dedicated radio frequency that operates completely independently of your home router or internet connection. Unlike systems such as Moen Flo, which go offline during power cuts or router failures, the SafeHous system continues monitoring during outages. This matters because most plumbing emergencies happen during storms and power events — exactly when WiFi-based systems stop working.

The main water supply valve closes automatically within seconds of any sensor trigger — stopping water flow before it spreads to other rooms or floors. You receive an instant SMS, email, and app alert showing the exact sensor location and time of detection. You can review the event and control the valve remotely from your phone from anywhere in the world. No one needs to be home for the system to respond.

No. The SafeHous system installed by Integrity Risk Reduction is a one-time installation with no ongoing monthly fees. Monitoring, cloud dashboard access, and app alerts are included permanently from installation day. This is a key difference from systems such as Moen Flo that charge ongoing monthly subscription fees. The system also includes a 2 year warranty with 48-hour sensor replacement if anything fails.

SafeHous was developed in partnership with Chubb Insurance as an approved system for high-value residential properties across Canada. After certified installation by Integrity Risk Reduction, the full documentation pack is delivered to your broker within 48 hours. Your broker submits it to Chubb and discount eligibility — up to 8% for qualifying policyholders — is confirmed at your next renewal. BFL Canada's Flowguard program offers up to 10% for qualifying properties. Confirm eligibility with your broker.

No. LoRa wireless sensors require no cable runs through walls or structural work inside occupied units. Sensors install under appliances and in utility areas with minimal disruption. Integrity Risk Reduction provides a plain-language tenant communication template you can send before installation begins. Specific timelines vary by property size and are confirmed at the free home assessment. Tenants do not need to be present during installation.

Integrity Risk Reduction installs inline flow sensors on your hot and cold water supply lines, plus moisture sensors under every high-risk appliance and fixture — dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, toilets, and vanities. The inline flow sensor catches slow drips and supply line failures from as little as 0.1 GPM before visible damage appears. The specific sensor layout for your property is confirmed at the free home assessment based on your floor plan and risk profile.

Yes. Integrity Risk Reduction uses LoRa wireless technology — a dedicated radio frequency that operates completely independently of the building's internet connection. This matters for strata buildings because concrete floors and walls create WiFi dead zones, and internet outages are common during storms, exactly when water events are most likely. LoRa maintains signal through concrete and continues monitoring during outages. Unlike WiFi-based systems such as Moen Flo and NOWA 360, there are no dead zones and no loss of monitoring during internet failures.

No. LoRa wireless sensors require no cable runs through walls or structural work in occupied suites. Sensors install in mechanical spaces, utility areas, and under appliances with minimal disruption to residents. Integrity Risk Reduction provides resident communication templates the strata can distribute before installation begins. Specific timelines depend on building size and complexity and are confirmed at the free board assessment. In multi-storey strata buildings of 100 or more units, installation is typically completed in phases to minimise disruption.

In most cases yes, though the voting threshold depends on the strata's bylaws and the expenditure amount. Integrity Risk Reduction prepares all board presentation materials — including an ROI analysis and a ready-to-present motion template — and can present to the board directly at no cost. For BC strata buildings, under Sections 3 and 72 of the Strata Property Act, strata corporations are responsible for managing and maintaining common property. Installing a certified monitoring system is one of the clearest ways a strata council can demonstrate it acted to manage known water risks.

Integrity Risk Reduction installs SafeHous water leak detection systems in strata buildings and condominiums, single-family homes, rental properties, multi-unit residential buildings, hotels, and mixed-use developments across Canada. The system scales from a single home to a complex of 530+ sensors across 4 buildings — as demonstrated in a documented False Creek, Vancouver deployment. For mechanical and construction contractors, Integrity Risk Reduction also provides NSF-61 and UL certified systems with full CAD files and permit documentation for new construction projects.
