Water leak sensors after the house flooded again

The first flood was "a fluke." The second was flowers and branches flushed down the toilet — again — soaking the first floor before anyone who doesn't live there knew. You can't sit in the bathroom all day. You also can't wait for a neighbor to smell mildew.
A Govee WiFi Water Sensor is a caregiver install — you buy it, you place the probes where water hits first, you keep the app alerts on your phone. It is not a gadget for Mom to research and set up. It is how you get a remote alert when the next flush turns into a flood and you are not in the house.
Pair it with the rest of the living-alone stack: who shuts the water main, which bathrooms get sensors, and what you do the minute the app pings. The sensor is the early warning. The plan is what stops the next carpet from floating.

Who is this for?
Adult children caregiving for a parent with dementia who need a practical tool (water leak sensors) — not a clinic brochure. Not medical advice.

This isn't medical, legal, or financial advice — it's practical notes from a caregiver perspective on tools families often buy once the paperwork and day-to-day safety work starts. Product availability and features change; verify the current listing on Amazon. For medical or safety decisions specific to your parent, talk with their clinician or a qualified professional.
