A Leak-Detection Cable or Separate Point Sensors Under the Cabinets?
A point sensor and a detection cable cover water risk differently. Choose from the cabinet layout and service access, then compare the supporting system each option needs.
Trace likely water routes
Identify where water could first collect or pass, including divisions between cabinets. One accessible low point may suit a point device, while an elongated area may justify considering a compatible cable-based product.
Keep the sensing path reachable
Do not seal the chosen detector behind finishes that prevent later inspection. Ask how the cable or sensor can be cleaned, checked and replaced once the kitchen is fully in use.
Test the final positions
Include required hubs or controllers and a test from the actual installed locations. The important result is a useful alert with an identifiable location, not simply a larger advertised coverage area.
