Built for Response, Not Just Detection

More than leak detection.
Built for what happens after the alert.

Real-time detection, maintenance-first workflow, structured escalation, and claims-ready documentation — one operational system for multifamily water risk.

Positioning

Detection alone doesn't end the event

A leak sensor firing is the beginning of an incident — not the end of one. FlowGuard is built for everything that has to happen after the alert.

Detection is table stakes

Sensors are the easy part. The hard part is getting the right person to act on the alert, in the right order, before the damage compounds.

Response is where incidents end

Structured escalation, maintenance-first routing, and SMS incident command turn a notification into a contained event — without manual chasing.

Documentation is where claims hold up

Carriers want to know when it was detected, what was done, and how long it took. FlowGuard captures all three automatically, on every event.

Why FlowGuard

Four pillars that separate us from notification-only sensors

Maintenance-First by Design

Your on-call team responds first — they know the property, hold the keys, and contain most events before outside dispatch is needed. Vendors escalate in only when your staff needs backup.

Escalation Configured Per Property

Every building gets a tailored response chain — who alerts first, who backs them up, how long before escalation, and what happens if nobody responds. No one-size-fits-all defaults.

Claims-Ready Documentation

Every alert, response, escalation, and resolution is timestamped and preserved automatically. Carrier-facing reports export in seconds — no one rebuilds the timeline from memory.

Built for Texas Multifamily

Scoped for the conditions Texas properties actually face — DFW freeze events, Gulf Coast humidity, risers, boiler rooms. Freeze-risk monitoring and critical-area coverage baked in.

Documentation Layer

When carriers review an incident, they ask three questions.

When was it detected, what was done about it, and how long did it take to contain? FlowGuard produces a record that answers all three — automatically, on every event, without anyone rebuilding the timeline after the fact.

The same record your team uses during the event is the record your carrier sees afterward. One source of truth, from first signal to closeout.

Comparison reflects the operational capabilities of the FlowGuard platform against the behavior typical of notification-only leak-detection systems in the multifamily space.

Financial Strategy

An investment, not just an expense

The deployed hardware is a capital asset on your balance sheet — not a subscription you pay forever. When FlowGuard is installed at your property, you purchase and own the commercial-grade devices. They book as a depreciable building improvement.

Most property owners qualify for Section 179 immediate expensing — meaning the full hardware cost can be deducted in year one. On a 200-unit property that represents a roughly $50,000 capital asset with potential first-year tax savings of $10,000–$15,000.

Compare that to HaaS competitors that charge monthly indefinitely — you own nothing, depreciate nothing, and costs never taper. With FlowGuard, your monthly fee shrinks as a share of total investment every year you stay protected.

Confirm with your accountant how FlowGuard fits your capital improvement strategy.

5-Year Cost Comparison — 200 Units

FlowGuard (Own the hardware)

Hardware capex$50,000
Section 179 tax savings− $12,500
Monthly fees (5 years)$72,000
Real 5-year cost$109,500
Asset value retained+ $50,000 on balance sheet

Typical HaaS (Own nothing)

Hardware capex$0
Tax savings$0
Monthly fees (5 years)$120,000
Real 5-year cost$120,000
Asset value retained$0 — you own nothing

FlowGuard saves $10,500+ over 5 years — and $50,000 in retained assets
