What Nationwide® members have to say about LeakBot

“Good vibes. Great service. LeakBot found and repaired a leak in our new home. No reason not to have LeakBot installed. Highly recommend.”

“I’m glad that I have this service. Much rather have prevention than a disaster.”

What Nationwide® members have to say about Ting

“Ting notified us of a fire hazard in our electrical panel. The main breaker was melted and other breakers were affected. Ting saved our house and possibly our lives.”

“Immediately after receiving my device, it detected a potential fire hazard. With the advice from the Ting experts, we were able to take care of the problem immediately and stop a potential threat.”

Sources of hazards

Water
Based on Nationwide claims data, the most likely sources of water leaks include:
  • Bathroom toilets, sinks, tubs and showers
  • Water heaters (which last an average of 12 years)
  • Washing machines (water hose input lines fail after 8.7 years)
  • Refrigerators with water lines
  • Water pipes, especially ones exposed to low or freezing temperatures
  • Water backup from a sewer or sump pump failure
Electrical fire
  • Most electrical fires start from hidden hazards, behind your walls, within your devices and appliances and from electrical grid defaults.
  • Electrical hazards can develop at any time.
  • Devices offered are compatible with both new and older homes.
  • As a home’s electrical system ages, there can be a higher frequency of electrical hazards.
