By GlobalData“Escape of water is one of the most damaging and disrupting things that can happen to a homeowner, causing devastating damage with little warning.
“We believe this partnership with LeakBot will help us support our customers by providing an effective early warning system for escape of water before it develops into a serious issue and look forward to seeing the positive impact this has for our members.”
Earlier in the year, Ondo announced that it has signed a contract with a US regional personal lines insurer.
The firm manages over $2bn of personal lines home, motor, and umbrella insurance policies.
In addition, the new insurance partner will start to deploy LeakBot to their customers based in New Jersey beginning in Q3 2024, offering the LeakBot sensor and repair service free of charge to their customers.
This is the second insurer to launch LeakBot in New Jersey, and the fifth US insurance company to adopt LeakBot within the last 12 months.
