Amica expands partnership with Flume

Amica Insurance announced a new program that provides policyholders with access to a smart leak detection monitoring service.

Under the expanded partnership with Flume, eligible Amica home policyholders, in participating markets, can enroll to receive a no-cost Flume Smart Home Water Monitor. The system can be installed on their home’s existing water meter in minutes and requires no plumbing modifications. Along with the sensor, Amica will provide three years of leak monitoring service from Flume.

Flume’s technology continuously monitors water activity throughout the home and sends real-time alerts through a mobile app when unusual water usage is detected. The system can identify everything from small continuous leaks, such as running toilets and dripping fixtures, to major plumbing failures. Amica data shows that 1 in 60 policyholders has a non-weather water loss every year, with the average claim exceeding $21,000.

“At Amica, we’re committed to helping our customers protect what matters most. By offering this service to our policyholders, we’re providing a simple, proactive way to identify potential water problems early.” – Amica Chairman, President and CEO Ted Shallcross.

“We’re excited to support Amica’s commitment to helping policyholders prevent water damage before it happens. Early leak detection is one of the most effective ways to reduce water damage risk. By combining real-time monitoring, advanced analytics and proactive homeowner engagement, we’re helping homeowners identify problems sooner and avoid costly repairs.” – Eric Adler, Founder and CEO of Flume.
