Early on in my investing journey I experienced a ton of water damage because of water leaks in places that often goes unnoticed under sinks, in utility closets etc.I was curious if anyone else here has considered any remote monitoring water leak systems?

I had a plumber refuse to use supply valves because he couldn't verify that they were new and so if there was a leak he couldn't warrant the work. 

However, minor cosmetic repairs or repairs to personal property cannot be deducted such as paint, replacing broken hardware, fixing leaks or holes, etc.(2) If you have other types of investments (e.g., stocks or mutual funds) that are operating at a loss, if you liquidate those investments to take a loss, you can use those losses to offset your capital gains.

Hi, I've had a chance to work in the connected water field for a couple years, although not directly in leak detection.

I dare say there is no leak in your foundation.

This worked well at first, but I started noticing "ghost" charges for random repairs and services: $45 for a door knob replacement, $85 for wall repairs, $65 for a toilet leak, etc.

If it’s so bad, instead of playing detective or code officer, why not move?  

Something that will really detect from his entrance.

Hot water heater leaked and flooded downstairs storage area.

My intuition tells me that if they were rehabbing a property in poor condition, they surely must have known that water was leaking into the basement.
