Asurion Expands LeakProtect to Bring Managed Water Loss Prevention to More Homes
New LeakProtect Essential offering completes Asurion's three-tier program, giving insurance carriers a more flexible way to serve a broader range of policyholders
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As technology becomes more essential to everyday life, Asurion is expanding the ways it helps make that technology work simply and seamlessly. Today, Asurion announced the addition of LeakProtect Essential to its managed water loss prevention program for insurance carriers, completing a three-tier lineup designed to serve a broader range of homes and protection needs, from monitoring and alerts to automatic shutoff.
Water damage can be one of the most disruptive and costly problems a homeowner faces, and it often starts with an unexpected leak inside the home rather than a major weather event. Catching those leaks early – or stopping the flow of water automatically – can help prevent a small problem from becoming a significant loss while giving homeowners greater peace of mind.
For carriers, the expanded lineup delivers a single managed program spanning a range of home and protection needs. Rather than simply providing the technology, Asurion manages the experience end to end – from identifying the optimal device and coordinating professional installation to monitoring, alert triage and ongoing support.
"Effective water loss prevention for the home depends on more than technology alone. It takes the right product, installed properly and backed by ongoing support to drive the outcomes insurance carriers and consumers care about," said Rob Sader, VP and GM of Asurion LeakProtect. "That's what Asurion does across technology: we bring together the technology, expertise and services needed to make increasingly complex technology simple for people. With LeakProtect Essential, we're bringing that same approach to even more homes."
A water loss prevention solution for more homes
The expanded LeakProtect lineup includes three levels of protection:
Across the lineup, Asurion provides a managed service that includes home assessment and device selection, professional installation through its network of licensed plumbers, guided activation and onboarding, 24/7 proactive monitoring, human review of significant alerts, up to $500 in plumbing discounts for qualifying leaks, warranty administration and ongoing technical support.
Expanding Asurion's work with Phyn
Asurion is also broadening its relationship with Phyn, a leader in AI-intelligent water monitoring and protection solutions. Asurion currently uses Phyn Plus, Phyn's whole-home smart water monitoring system with automatic shutoff, as part of LeakProtect Standard. The expanded relationship will add Phyn Assist, which provides continuous water monitoring and leak detection, to LeakProtect Essential and Phyn Protect XL, designed for larger diameter water lines, to LeakProtect XL.
"Homes are not the same, so water loss prevention technology cannot be one-size-fits-all," said Ryan Kim, CEO of Phyn. "Expanding our work with Asurion will help bring the right technology to a broader range of homes, backed by the services and support needed to make water loss prevention easier for carriers and their policyholders."
LeakProtect builds on Asurion's broader mission to help consumers protect, manage, and get more from the technology they rely on every day. Asurion serves more than 200 million customers globally and partners with more than 100 of the world's leading carriers, retailers, and technology companies.
Asurion and Phyn will showcase their expanded relationship at ITC Vegas, Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2026, at the Phyn booth #919.
