Prevent Costly Water Damage with the Kangaroo Climate Sensor

Water Damage: A Silent, Costly Threat

Homeowners and renters often discover water damage after it’s too late—a warped floor, musty smell, or growing mold colony becomes the first clue. Yet many of these disasters are preventable. A slow, undetected drip can lead to thousands of dollars in structural damage and remediation costs, not to mention stress and lost time. That’s why early detection matters.

Enter the Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensor a powerful, affordable device that offers smart leak detection, temperature alerts, and humidity monitoring all in one compact unit.

The True Cost of Water Damage

The average water damage repair bill in the U.S. ranges from $2,000 to $6,000—and for major issues, it can climb to $100,000. According to FEMA, just one inch of water can cause up to $25,000 in damage. Worse, not all water-related problems are covered by insurance. Mold, slow leaks, or damage caused by poor maintenance are often excluded.

Avoiding a claim altogether is the smartest strategy. That’s where Kangaroo comes in.

Triple Protection in One Sensor

The Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensor gives you peace of mind by actively monitoring for:

  • Water Leaks – Instant alerts to your phone through the Kangaroo mobile app if water is detected.

  • Freezing Temperatures – Warnings before pipes freeze and burst.

  • High Humidity – Notifications when conditions are right for mold to grow.

Together, these features help you prevent damage before it happens—not after.

Strategic Sensor Placement: Where to Protect Your Home

Why Kangaroo Stands Out

Many smart sensors are expensive or complicated to install. Kangaroo keeps it simple:

  • No hub required

  • Wi-Fi enabled

  • Peel-and-stick DIY installation

  • Only $29.99 per sensor

It’s perfect for homeowners and renters. Plus, renters can pair it with Their Insurance Coverage and potentially qualify for discounts.
