Leading insurTech to offer Guardian water shut-off device to further protect homeowners

December 13, 2022. Morristown, NJ. vipHomeLink, the U.S. technology company that provides the leading digital home management and engagement platform, announced today a marketing partnership with Guardian, a division of Elexa Consumer Products, Inc, a leading provider of leak detection and water shut-off devices for residential and commercial consumers.

Founded in 2018, vipHomeLink simplifies homeownership with a mobile solution and expert digital content, while engaging and empowering homeowners to make their homes safer, more valuable and more energy efficient. The Company provides its customized solution primarily to partners in the insurance industry, where the branded platform helps drive homeowner retention, improves brand affinity, and prevents insurance claims.

Guardian is a system of leak detectors and a main water valve controller that work together to detect leaks and shut off the water supply automatically, preventing further damage to the home. The Guardian device is installed very simply by the homeowner, requiring no tools or pipe cutting. Approximately 30% of home insurance claims involve water leaks, and they are the most expensive peril for U.S. home insurance carriers.

“Given vipHomeLink’s mission to ‘prevent the preventable’ through our innovative platform, we naturally align with other smart-home and IoT solutions in the home space,” says Alfred Bentley, CEO & Founder of vipHomeLink. “We have always advocated for automatic water shut-off devices to help prevent and mitigate water damage, and appreciate this partnership with Guardian. ”

Through this collaboration, vipHomeLink will feature Guardian in its homeowner “ecosystem,” a curated group of select partners and products that vipHomeLink offers to its members to streamline, simplify and automate homeownership. In addition, vipHomeLink builds awareness for partner solutions by incorporating them into both expert digital content and member communications.

“Guardian’s solution aligns perfectly with vipHomeLink’s prevention-focused platform,” adds Jon Storino, Guardian’s Vice President. “Our founders experienced the devastating effects of in-home water damage, and we created the Guardian device to provide a simple, affordable and highly effective water shut-off solution for all U.S. homeowners.”
