THE INNOVATIVE PILOT PROGRAM LAUNCHES IN THREE STATES
Chicago, IL– Elexa Consumer Products developed Guardian Automatic Leak Prevention System to aid homeowners and property insurance carriers in their goal to reduce the frequency and cost of water damage. Guardian is the first ever DIY solution that not only detects and alerts homeowners of potential water damage but will automatically shut off the water main, thus preventing property loss and homeowner headaches. Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies has selected Guardian to promote residential customer engagement in a pilot program launching in three states this month.

More than 14,000 water damage claims are filed every day in the greater USA, costing insurance companies over $10 billion annually. Guardian by Elexa Consumer Products (www.getguardian.com) aims to change that. The system installs without tools in less than five minutes, is a completely standalone system, avoiding the need for any additional equipment, and still protects your home without internet connectivity.
“What Nest did for climate control, Guardian will do for water damage prevention. This standalone system not only provides convenience but also peace of mind for a very real and often financially devastating problem: water damage,” said Matthew Cwiokowski, CTO at Elexa Consumer Products.
“Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies is offering their homeowners’ policyholders an opportunity to save on the purchase of a smart leak detection and prevention system that will, according to Elexa, yield additional savings to homeowners and their insurer on homeowner policies,” says Dovid Tkatch, SVP Personal Lines Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies.
