FloLogic, Inc. is a privately-held US company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, that designs, manufactures, and sells a premium flow-based automatic water leak detection and shutoff system for residential and light commercial properties. The core product is the FloLogic System, a cast bronze valve with proprietary EverWatch flow-sensing technology that continuously monitors the main water supply line and detects leaks as small as 1/2 ounce per minute—orders of magnitude more sensitive than water-meter-based competitors. The system integrates a local control panel, a patented automatic ball valve exercise feature, and optional Connect WiFi or Gateway modules that add smartphone-based remote control, push notifications, and low-temperature alerts via iOS and Android apps. All systems ship with battery backup (rated for approximately one week of AC-power loss) and are backed by a 5-year warranty.

FloLogic sells through three primary go-to-market motions: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on flologic.com, a referral installer network of licensed plumbers, and a dealer program targeting builders, security integrators, and home automation professionals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with three valve size SKUs (1-inch/50 GPM, 1.5-inch/100+ GPM, 2-inch/200+ GPM) addressing residential through larger commercial properties. The company derives revenue from initial hardware sales, recurring Connect module attach sales, and replacement batteries/accessories sold every ~3 years. Insurance industry partnerships—where participating carriers offer premium discounts for FloLogic-protected properties—serve as a top-of-funnel referral channel. The company operates exclusively in the United States, holds UL, cUL, UPC, cUPC, NSF 61-8, FCC, IP68, and IAPMO IGC 115 certifications, and is recommended by plumbing, home security, and insurance professionals. No revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership details are publicly disclosed.

Industry leaders including FloLogic, Phyn, and Resideo report that the leak detection category is approaching critical mass, with insurance companies now offering larger rebates and discounts on annual premiums as they recognize data-driven benefits. The trend is particularly strong in high-end residential markets where the cost of water damage from burst pipes or failed appliances outweighs the investment in smart leak detection systems.
