Most homeowners think a "leak detection system" covers everything in their house, but the truth is your whole-home device only monitors plumbing lines. They leave out the drain lines that cause some of the most expensive water damage!

In this second part of my leak management series, I'm breaking down the critical difference between plumbing lines (hot and cold water coming into your home) and drain lines (water going out through showers, toilets, and sinks). Understanding this distinction is key to creating a comprehensive monitoring system that actually protects your investment.

You'll discover why I believe every single home in America should be required to have a whole-home leak detection device, how to strategically place battery-operated detectors for drain line monitoring, and why that dishwasher drip pan could save you thousands in water damage. Plus, I'm sharing real stories from my own home where these systems caught leaks before they became catastrophic.

This episode is about taking the fear out of the "what ifs" and giving you a dashboard for your home just like you have in your car. No more lying awake wondering if something is leaking behind your walls—these safeguards will give you the peace of mind every homeowner deserves. My goal is for you to feel confident and safe in your home without that gnawing fear eating you alive.
