Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Homeowners may often be unable or unwilling to check pipes with the frequency needed to ensure a leak is detected. In particula r, areas in a building that an owner does not frequent often may lead to a leak going undetected for long periods of time, leading to extensive damages. Similar ly, a building that an owner is not at frequently (e.g., a secondary home) or is currently away from (e.g., on a vacation) may spring a leak that goes unnoticed . Similarly, when a building is not winterized properly and is not frequently us ed, a pipe may freeze and burst without an owner’s notice. Conventional techniqu es may include additional ineffectiveness, inefficiencies, encumbrances, and/or other drawbacks.”
