A TICKING TIME BOMB

It’s an inconvenient truth: water damage is a question of when, not if.

2.3 BILLION EUROS …

... in payouts for residential building insurance due to water damage. And that’s the number for Germany alone.

EVERY 30 SECONDS …

… on average, a pipe or a water barrier breaks. This amounts to more than a million cases of water damage in Germany alone.

UNDER 20 YEARS …

… is the life expectancy of a normal pipe in general. From then on, the probability of water damage increases substantially.

Pipe breaks are the main reason for water damage – they account for 65% of all cases*. And once they break, things get costly. GROHE Sense Guard detects pipe breaks and stops water supply automatically.

A dripping faucet can waste 11,000 liters of water a year. That is enough for more than 180 showers! GROHE Sense Guard detects even the smallest water loss and you can repair the cause.

28% of water damage is due to leaky pipes, dripping faucets, showers, and toilets*. Small leaks that go unnoticed for months or even years can cause extensive damage. GROHE Sense Guard detects those leaks, so you can prevent ugly situations.

During long periods of frost, pipes can freeze. Especially in houses that are rarely used. GROHE Sense Guard measures the system temperature and warns you about frost risk.

A TOUGH BUSINESS

Your business fights growing problems. It’s time to fight back.

GROWING LOSSES

In the last 15 years, the average payout per claim increased by 240%. Growing water damage costs put a substantial strain on your bottom line.

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE

Repairing the water damage is usually just the beginning – the consequential damage adds up to 75% of overall costs.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY

Water damage derails your customers’ lives. During the process of claiming and repair, you are risking ruining the relationship with your customer.

GROWING COMPLEXITY

With digitalization and innovation, ecosystems get more complex. And yet they need to be customer-centric and easily approachable.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

GROHE introduces a watertight, full service solution based on the breakthrough product GROHE Sense Guard.
