Watergate & Plum Underwriting team up to prevent water damage
We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Plum Underwriting, a leading specialist home insurer, to help holiday homeowners and short-term let property owners better protect their properties from costly water damage.
Through this collaboration, Plum Underwriting is recommending Watergate Sonic, our smart leak detection system, to its policyholders—offering them an exclusive discount of up to 10%. In some cases, homeowners may also qualify for a discount on their home insurance premium when they install Sonic—helping them save money while protecting their property.
Why this matters
We know that water damage is one of the biggest risks for holiday homes, especially when properties are left unoccupied. Even a small undetected leak can quickly turn into a major disaster, leading to expensive repairs, stressful insurance claims, and weeks of disruption.
That’s where Watergate Sonic comes in. Our smart leak detection technology identifies leaks early and, if needed, automatically shuts off the water supply—stopping damage before it happens. With remote monitoring through our app, homeowners can check in on their property and control their water from anywhere in the world.
Why Plum Underwriting customers will love Watergate Sonic
✔ Detect leaks early before they cause costly damage
✔ Automatic shut-off prevents flooding and disruption
✔ 24/7 remote monitoring via our smartphone app
✔ Exclusive discount just for Plum customers
✔ Potential insurance savings for reducing risk
A partnership built for our customers
At Watergate, we believe prevention is always better than cure, and we’re on a mission to help homeowners stay in control of their water and reduce damage before it starts.
Krystian Zajac, our CEO and Founder, shares why this partnership matters:
We are thrilled to partner with Plum Underwriting and bring our technology to their customers. This collaboration reflects our commitment to providing practical solutions that address real challenges faced by holiday homeowners.
