Residential Leak Protection across Canada
Residential Leak Detection: Ultimate Home Safety
Water damage is the most frequent and expensive home insurance claim, occurring seven times more often than fire damage. A burst pipe or washing machine hose can release 10 to 15 gallons of water per minute into your home.
As expert home technology integrators, we specialize in residential water leak detection systems. Our systems do more than just alert you; they automatically shut off your home's water supply the moment a leak is detected, preventing potential disasters.

What we deliver
We protect, not just watch
Homeowners often depend on luck to avoid water damage, but a leak detection system uses technology for protection. Here's why it's crucial:
1. Immediate Damage Control
A burst pipe can cause extensive damage if left unchecked. An automatic shut-off system acts within seconds, preventing major flooding and reducing damage to a minor spill.
2. Significant Insurance Benefits
Insurance companies offer substantial discounts, up to 15%, for homes with automatic water shut-off systems. These savings can cover the installation cost over time.
3. Enhanced Water Conservation
Undetected leaks can be costly. Our systems monitor water usage and alert you to anomalies, helping reduce your water bill.

Great service! Blackbird Security is monitoring 3 buildings for us. The guards are on time, they make their rounds in the agreed time and they are alert. When I come late at night, the guards check me out to see what I am doing there, even though they know me and my car. Very attentive. Always answer calls, email back within 24 hours and report daily. If you need security... hands down, go with Blackbird!!!

Blackbird patrols have cleaned up my parking lot. Without them we had drug users sleeping in the corners leaving a big mess. They patrol every hour and their prices are very good!

I highly recommend Blackbird for any security needs. They provide patrol services to a property I manage in Vancouver and they have been able to reduce trespassing on the property as well as increasing the security of the building. Their customer service is top notch.

Blackbird Security is an outstanding integrated security provider. They supply professional and reliable security guards for a couple Downtown properties of ours in Edmonton, Alberta. Their mobile guards are very responsive, fast acting, professional and thorough during their patrol checks. With combining their guard man-power and mobile fleet, we have peace of mind that our site is always safe and secure. With my two Downtown locations, I need to be able to trust that my security provider has not only our back, but our valued tenants as well. With that in mind I have no doubt that they will be able to provide you the same top notch service for any of your security needs.

Deployment
We focus on the appliances and zones most prone to failure, ensuring comprehensive protection:
The Main Water Line
- Smart Shut-Off Valve manages water flow to the entire house. It can be controlled remotely via a smartphone app, offering convenience such as turning off the water when you're away on vacation.
Washing Machines
- Flood Sensors detect leaks from washing machine hoses, which are under constant pressure and can burst unexpectedly.
Hot Water Heaters
- Moisture Sensors Positioned to detect leaks when water heaters rust out at the bottom, potentially releasing 40-60 gallons of water.
Ice Makers & Dishwashers
- Under-Appliance sensors catch slow leaks that can cause subfloor damage long before they are visible.

Can security services be customized?
Many providers offer standard security programs, but Blackbird Security emphasizes a collaborative approach to customization. By considering factors such as your industry, location, size, and specific risks, we work closely with you to design security strategies that fit your needs. This might include adjusting patrol schedules, reporting frequency, or tailoring patrol routes to align with your operations. This is possible through our dedicated Client Services team as well as our in-house Control Centre and Reporting teams. Customization is a fundamental part of how we provide effective and seamless security solutions
Are security providers in Canada regulated?
Yes, most countries and regions (including Canada) have licensing bodies and regulations that govern security providers. Check local laws to ensure your provider complies with these standards.
How do I measure the effectiveness of security measures?
Measuring the effectiveness of security measures involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate how well systems and personnel are meeting safety and asset protection goals. Start by analyzing incident response times, reductions in theft, vandalism, or shrinkage, and overall resolution rates for reported issues. Comparing pre- and post-implementation data helps demonstrate tangible improvements in safety and loss prevention. Regular audits, surveys, and risk assessment reports can also gauge the reliability and perception of security measures.
Key KPIs to track include:
- Incident response times: Faster responses to alarms or emergencies.
- Reduction in theft/vandalism: Compare loss data before and after implementation.
- Patrol compliance: Track patrol frequency and adherence via GPS or logs.
- False alarm rates: Lower rates ensure focus on real threats.
- Client/Employee satisfaction: Gather feedback to measure confidence in security.
- Client services: Dedicated account representative who supports ongoing needs & can adjust strategy as needed
