SMS Alert Information
Last Updated: March 4, 2026
How SMS Alerts Work
FlowGuard sends automated SMS text message alerts when water leaks are detected at your property. These critical notifications are sent to:
- Maintenance technicians for immediate leak response
- Supervisors / backup contacts when leaks remain unclaimed after 5 minutes
- Property managers when leaks remain unclaimed after 10 minutes
SMS alerts work alongside email notifications to ensure your team is notified through multiple channels for maximum reliability.
Message Frequency
You will only receive SMS messages in the following circumstances:
- When a water leak is detected at your property (immediate alert)
- When an incident is escalated to your role level (supervisor or property manager)
- When a leak is successfully resolved (confirmation message)
Typical message volume: 0-10 messages per month depending on leak incidents at your specific property. Most properties receive 0-2 messages per month. SMS messages are only sent for actual leak events, not for routine system notifications or marketing purposes.
How to Opt-In
You are automatically opted-in to receive SMS alerts when:
- Your property manager or building owner adds your phone number to the FlowGuard system
- You provide explicit consent to receive automated leak alerts at the time of enrollment
- You are designated as a contact person for water leak emergencies
By providing your phone number for FlowGuard alerts, you expressly consent to receive automated SMS text messages related to water leak detection and emergency notifications. This consent is not a condition of purchase.
How to Opt-Out
You can stop receiving SMS alerts at any time using any of these methods:
- Text STOP: Reply "STOP" to any FlowGuard SMS message to immediately unsubscribe
- Email us: Send your opt-out request to mazen@flowguardprotection.com
- Contact your property manager: Request removal from the notification list
⚠️ Important Notice:
If you opt-out of SMS alerts, you will no longer receive text message notifications about water leaks at your property. Email alerts will continue unless you opt-out separately. We recommend maintaining at least one alert method (email or SMS) to ensure you are notified of water emergencies.
