## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you splice in more wires to create a dual sensor using the one box?  Want to put 1 box and 2 sensors in a tight location.**
A: For the price, why splice wires, the leads can be extended to 6 feet.  What I would recommend is to place the sensor on a sheet of paper towel.  Any moisture will wick up to the contacts.  Also you can cover a bigger area where just a corner of the paper towel will transfer the liquid by capillary action to the contacts.

**Q: is it easy to reset**
A: To reset all you have to do is dry the leads and it will stop alarming. Please contact us directly if you are in need of further assistance at 800.911.0466 ext 3. We are open M-F 9-5 CST and would love to assist you.

**Q: if the battery is low, will it give you some sort of audible/intermitten beep warning (like a smoke alarm)?**
A: I am going to buy this and a 9v battery eliminator that plugs in(about $10). Never have to worry about batteries. If a Sump is involved maybe a very small UPS could be a solution(about $30). There is a mini ups on Amazon. You can get a 9v battery clip and wire up. 
Good 9V batteries aren't cheap either.
 Consider what repairs could cost.

**Q: what is size of sensor**
A: 2-1/2" X 1" X 1/8" plastic plate.  there are 2 metal discs a little smaller than a dime fixed to that plate. There is a 10 feet long wire would up inside the case that attaches the sensor to the case. The case has 2 holes on the back to mount on wall if you want to do that. There are two mounting holes in the sensor plastic plate if you want to mount that, such as with any tiny screws you happen to have. The instructions say you can splice up to 100 feet of wire onto the 10 feet wire in order to have the alarm somewhere far away from where the sensors are placed. Teeny tiny wire is OK to use since the voltage is only 9 volts.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best investment for preventing potential water issues or disasters.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 29, 2026*

These little things could save you a LOT of money. I own my home, and I do everything I can to protect it, and keep it and myself safe. I’ve had previous homes with water issues, and when I saw these I thought “ I’m buying one of these for every area where there is potential for water damage” Put one under any sink, behind every toilet, by your water heater, behind your washer, under your dishwasher and even I few placed strategically under the home where water lines run. Trust me, they are loud enough that you will hear them. They are quite small. (About the size of a pack of ciggies) and they use a 9v battery that will easily last 7-10 years. Just remember to change batteries out about every 5-7 years to be safe. They have multiple ways to use them. You can run the little cables to a specific place, or just set them on the surface under where water may go and your all set. To me, these are about as useful as smoke detectors if not more useful. Water can do a ton of damage if gone unchecked. I little drip can turn into you having to replace a floor, or worse. If you don’t buy something like this to prevent potential damage, it’s on you because these things are cheap enough that there is no excuse and it’s on you when SHTF.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 2, 2025*

In March of 2024, I purchased the “Basement Watchdog Model BWD-HWA 110 dB Battery Operated Water Alarm” from Amazon and good thing I did. I positioned the small sensors in the tray below my hot water heater in my laundry room. About two weeks ago, my hot water heater broke and the Basement Watchdog did its job! It set an alarm off. Yes, the alarm was loud but it was effective in alerting me to a leak that was taking place. The water alarm was reliable and easy to install, taking seconds to set up. It was effective in preventing water damage and it saved me thousands of dollars in potential damage! It really worked!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It already saved me once from a leaking water heater!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 7, 2024*

THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG Model BWD-HWA 110 dB Battery Operated Water Alarm, has been an excellent addition to my home safety setup. This water alarm is perfect for placing next to water heaters, next to the dishwasher or laundry room, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, and by AC drain pans. It saved me big from a leaking water heater!The alarm is powered by a 9v battery, which makes it very convenient to install anywhere without worrying about electrical outlets. The 110 dB alarm is loud and ensures that you can hear it from anywhere in the house, giving you peace of mind that you will be alerted to any leaks or water issues promptly.One of the standout features of this product is its extended cable, which allows you to place the sensor separately from the main device. This is incredibly useful for those hard-to-reach spots where leaks are most likely to occur but where placing the entire device might be impractical.Make sure to test it periodically by touching the two sensors with a finger. I also write the date of installation on the battery and change it once a year.With the cost of insurance and labor going up, don't skip on this economical and reliable home protection device!Overall, THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG Model BWD-HWA is a reliable and effective water alarm. It's easy to set up, provides a loud and clear alert, and offers the flexibility to position the sensor in the most critical locations. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to protect their home from potential water damage.
