The Easiest Way for Plumbers to Make More Money on Every Job

If you’re a licensed plumber, you already have everything you need to start earning significantly more money from every single client interaction — without hiring more staff, buying a new truck, or expanding your service area.

The secret? Recommending and installing LeakSecure® — the industry-leading smart leak detection system with automatic and remote water shut-off. Plumbers who become LeakSecure® certified installers are adding a reliable new revenue stream that pays on every job, builds long-term client loyalty, and positions their business as the go-to expert in their market.

In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how the LeakSecure® partner program works, why your clients desperately need this device, and how you can start profiting from it immediately.

‍

Why Plumber Are the Perfect People to Sell Leak Detection Systems

‍

Think about it: who does a homeowner call the moment they suspect a water problem? You. Who do they trust completely when it comes to the integrity of their home’s plumbing? You. Who has access to the main water line — the exact spot where LeakSecure® gets installed? That’s right: you.

‍

Plumbers are uniquely positioned to recommend, sell, and install leak detection devices because you already have the trust, the access, and the expertise. You’re not selling a stranger on a product — you’re a trusted professional advising your client on how to protect their biggest investment. That’s a completely different conversation, and it converts.

‍

The average plumber leaves hundreds — sometimes thousands — of dollars on the table on every job by not offering ancillary products and services. Leak detection systems are one of the highest-margin upsell opportunities in the home services industry, and the market demand has never been stronger.

‍

The Problem Your Clients Have (Whether They Know It or Not)

‍

Water damage is the #1 driver of home insurance claims in the United States. The average water damage claim costs homeowners $12,514 — and that’s just the insurance payout. It doesn’t account for the stress, the disruption, the temporary housing, or the risk of mold remediation that can dwarf the initial repair cost.

There are 14,000 water leak emergencies every single day in the U.S. Your clients’ homes are vulnerable to burst pipes, failed washing machine hoses, slow toilet leaks, and corroded water heater connections — many of which go undetected for weeks or months before causing catastrophic damage.

The beautiful thing about selling LeakSecure® is that you’re not creating demand — the demand already exists. Your clients want peace of mind. They want to protect their home. They just need someone they trust to show them the solution.

‍

What is LeakSecure and Why Do Clients Love It?

LeakSecure® is a premium smart home device that installs directly on your client’s main water line. Once installed, it continuously monitors water flow patterns, detects anomalies that indicate leaks, and gives the homeowner complete control via a best-in-class smartphone app — including automatic and remote water shut-off.

For your clients, that means no more wondering whether they turned off the water before leaving for vacation. No more $12,000 insurance claims because a supply line failed while they were at work. No more skyrocketing water bills from a slow running toilet they didn’t know about.

For you, it means installing a product that your clients will thank you for — and that positions you as a forward-thinking, full-service plumbing professional rather than a “break-fix” commodity.

How Plumbers Make More Money with LeakSecure

Let’s talk numbers. Every plumber who joins the LeakSecure® partner network gains access to a product they can sell and install on top of their existing service work. Here’s how the additional revenue adds up:

1. Product Revenue on Every Installation

As a LeakSecure® certified installer, you sell the device to your client as part of the service. This is a high-perceived-value product that homeowners recognize as a smart investment — especially when you explain the $12,514 average insurance claim it could prevent. The margin opportunity per install is meaningful, and unlike labor, it doesn’t require more of your time.

2. Premium Labor for Installation

Installing LeakSecure® is a professional service. You’re not handing clients a box and walking away — you’re a certified expert providing a complete, warranted installation on their main water line. That’s premium, billable work that complements anything else you’re already doing on-site.

3. Upsell on Every Existing Service Call

Think about your current client base. Every homeowner you’ve served in the past five years is a potential LeakSecure® customer. Every new service call is an opportunity to recommend it. The conversation is natural: “While I’m here, have you thought about protecting your home from unexpected leaks? Let me show you what we carry.”

4. Inbound Leads from the LeakSecure® App and Website

When you become a preferred installer, LeakSecure® lists your business in their app and on their website. That means homeowners in your service area who are actively searching for a certified installer find you — not your competitor. That’s free marketing and qualified inbound leads delivered to you.

5. Stronger Client Retention and Referrals

When you install a device that saves a client from a $12,000 water damage disaster, they don’t forget you. They call you first for every future plumbing need, and they tell every neighbor, family member, and coworker about the plumber who saved their home. LeakSecure® installations build the kind of loyalty that drives referral business for years.

The LeakSecure Partner Program: How It Works

Getting started as a LeakSecure® certified installer is straightforward. Here’s the process from sign-up to your first paid install:

‍

1.  Apply to Become a Partner

     Fill out the simple partner application at leaksecure.com/become-a-partner. A regional representative will reach out to discuss your service area and get you set up.

2.  Get Trained and Certified

     LeakSecure® provides all the training and resources you need to become a confident, certified installer. You’ll know the product inside and out — and so will your clients.

3.  Get Listed on the App and Website

     Your business appears in the LeakSecure® installer locator, making it easy for homeowners in your area to find and book you specifically for LeakSecure® installations.

4.  Access the Partner Hub

     As a certified partner, you’ll get access to exclusive resources, promotions, and support through the LeakSecure® Partner Hub — everything you need to sell and install confidently.

Insurance Discounts Make It an Easy Sell

One of the most powerful selling points you have as a LeakSecure® installer is the insurance angle. Major insurance carriers — including AIG, Chubb, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, Progressive, Amica, and American Family — offer discounts to homeowners who install qualifying leak detection systems with automatic and remote shut-off.

Some insurers already require them. Industry experts widely agree it’s only a matter of time before automatic water shut-off devices become a standard requirement across all providers — just like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms became standard decades ago.

When you can tell a homeowner “this device could lower your insurance premium,” the conversation changes. You’re not asking them to spend money — you’re helping them save it. That’s an easy yes.

‍

Position Yourself as the Leak Detection Expert in Your Market 

Here’s a competitive reality: most plumbers in any given market are competing on price. They’re bidding the same work, driving the same trucks, and offering the same services. The plumbers who build dominant, highly profitable businesses are the ones who differentiate themselves with expertise and premium services their competitors don’t offer.

Becoming a LeakSecure® certified installer gives you a concrete, marketable distinction. You’re not just a plumber — you’re the local expert in smart water protection. That positioning attracts higher-value clients, commands premium rates, and builds a reputation that compounds over time.

Add LeakSecure® to your website, your truck wrap, your social media, and your business cards. When a homeowner searches for “leak detection installer near me” or “smart water shut-off plumber,” you want to be the result they find — and with your listing in the LeakSecure® app and installer directory, you will be.
