Chubb Insurance
Chubb-Recommended Water Leak Detection.
Safehous is named on Chubb’s published list of recommended water leak detection and shut-off devices. For a condominium corporation, strata council, or homeowner insured through Chubb, that means the system your building installs is one your insurer already recognizes.
What the listing is
Chubb publishes a list of recommended water leak detection and shut-off devices, and Safehous appears on it under both the leak detection and water sensor categories.
The Broker Route: BFL FlowGuard
Safehous is also listed in BFL Canada’s FlowGuard referral program for water-leak prevention. FlowGuard is an internal program — there is no public page to link to, and that is worth saying out loud. If your building’s policy is placed through BFL, your broker can confirm the listing with one call.
Why buildings choose Safehous
-
Cost-competitive
Monitoring that scales across an entire property without forcing a compromise on coverage.
-
Modular
Flexible installation for properties of any type or size — add zones as needs and budgets allow.
-
Straightforward to install
Integrates with existing plumbing and building systems with minimal disruption to residents.
-
Contractor friendly
Installed to code-compliant mechanical and plumbing principles by licensed local trades.
-
Durable
Industrial-grade mechanical parts chosen for long service life and simple maintenance.
-
Long range
Encrypted LoRa wireless with 300+ ft indoor range — reliable through concrete, parkades and mechanical rooms.
The core package
Whole-property protection, with modular add-ons.
Chubb-insured properties typically start with a core package covering the whole water supply, then add zones as required. In a multi-unit building the same package scales to risers, mechanical rooms and individual suites.
-
In-line flow sensor
Monitors total water flow in real time, catching the slow anomalies that point sensors alone never see.
-
Automatic shut-off valve
Closes the supply at the main line the moment a leak is confirmed — stopping damage rather than reporting it.
-
LoRa control unit and gateway
Long-range wireless control and a cloud-connected gateway keeping every sensor online.
-
Three point-of-leak sensors
Placed at the three highest-risk zones for precise point detection.
Add-ons: pool feed monitoring · irrigation flow integration · fire sprinkler flow sensor · relay switches and check valves · repeaters · additional in-line sensors · recirculation pump integration. Systems that run water routinely are configured so normal use is recognized rather than treated as a leak.

Standards
Certified where it counts — the potable water path.
NSF/ANSI/CAN 61
FL-1000 In-Line Flow Sensor
Certified to the North American standard for drinking water system components, which governs what a wetted part may leach into potable supply.
NSF/ANSI/CAN 61
ASV-1000 Automated Shut-Off Valve
The valve body sits directly in the supply line, so the same drinking-water certification applies to every size in the range.
NSF-61 certifies components that carry potable water — which here means the in-line sensor and the shut-off valve. The point-of-leak sensors sit on the floor and the LoRa gateway is a radio, so neither is in the water path and neither carries this certification. It is a standard your mechanical consultant will ask about by name.
