The Science Behind the Savings
Patented Thermi-Q™ Technology
Discover the groundbreaking thermal detection that identifies hidden leaks with unparalleled precision, powering LeakBot's ability to prevent costly water damage.
How We Detect the Undetectable
LeakBot's patented Thermi-Q™ technology is elegantly simple yet incredibly powerful.
The Key Insight
A hidden leak, no matter how small, continuously draws colder water into the home’s plumbing system from the underground supply pipe.
The Thermal Signature
This constant flow, even a tiny trickle, creates a small but persistent temperature difference between the incoming water and the ambient air temperature around the pipe. Thermi-Q™ is engineered to detect this specific, prolonged thermal signature – the unique fingerprint of a leak.
By precisely measuring both the air temperature around your main water pipe and the temperature of the water inside it, we can detect even the smallest hidden leaks.

Precision Thermal Monitoring
Thermi-Q™'s method is fundamentally different from other leak detection technologies, and its unique approach is protected by patents globally.

Why It Matters
LeakBot's patented approach enables a level of leak detection that was previously impossible without invasive plumbing work or complex systems:
- Installation in under 5 minutes with no tools required
- No false alarms from routine water usage
-
Catches leaks before they cause significant damage
-
Works with existing plumbing in any home
Catching Micro-Leaks, Ignoring Normal Use
The true power of Thermi-Q™ lies in its combination of sensitivity and intelligence
Detecting the Smallest Leaks
Traditional methods can't detect small drips until they've already caused significant damage. Our patented technology identifies these micro-leaks before they become catastrophic claims.
A 5ml/min leak is approximately equal to 2,628 liters of water wasted per year — enough to fill 33 bathtubs.
Smart Differentiation
Critically, Thermi-Q™ isn't just sensitive; it's smart. Our algorithms analyze the duration and consistency of the thermal signature. This allows LeakBot to distinguish between normal water use and a genuine, persistent leak that requires attention.
This intelligence minimizes false alarms and ensures homeowners trust the alerts they receive.
Technology That Powers Real Results
The innovation of Thermi-Q™ is not just technical achievement; it's the engine driving LeakBot's proven success
Enabling Early Detection
By detecting leaks long before they cause significant damage, Thermi-Q™ allows for proactive repairs through our integrated service.
Driving Claims Reduction
This early detection and fix capability is directly responsible for the up to 70% reduction in water damage claims costs experienced by our insurance partners.
Providing Peace of Mind
Homeowners gain confidence knowing their entire system is monitored by technology sensitive enough to catch hidden threats.
Water Conservation
Detecting and fixing these small, persistent leaks saves millions of gallons of water annually, benefiting both homeowners and the environment.

Industry Requirements
For insurers trying to integrate proactive water loss prevention solutions with a mass market home insurance product at scale the following must be true:
- The solution must be provided as a new benefit of the home insurance product and included at no cost to the policyholder
- A single sensor can monitor the entire system and it’s very easy to self-install
- A small pilot of the solution can provide the insurer with a verifiable and compelling ROI in the first 6-12 months
- Sensors must be tied to repair services providing compelling value to the homeowner
LeakBot is the ONLY water loss mitigation solution that hits all the must haves above and is why LeakBot is quickly becoming the industry standard solution for home insurers in the US and EU.
