We're looking for effective water alarms for basement storage areas. The
best possible solution would be alarms that relayed to a staffed area, which
in one case is a mile away. The other areas are in large buildings where the
staff are normally a floor or more away from the basement.
Those commonly seen in preservation catalogs are about $200 each. I'm
finding models via Google and Amazon that are $15-$25 each, although some of
the Amazon reviews are less than stellar.
If any one can share experiences with particular models I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
