ZoJacks

What ZoJacks does

ZoJacks is a privately held IoT company founded in 2020 that provides proactive water damage prevention systems for residential, commercial, institutional, and insurance customers across North America. Its core product is an integrated Water Protection Platform consisting of a central Hub (1,300m communication range, supports up to 200 devices, 15-hour battery backup, Ethernet/Wi-Fi/SIM connectivity), Water Leak Sensors (0.15-second alarm response, 5-year battery), Air Quality Sensors (CO2, humidity, temperature monitoring), Range Extenders, and the Waterstop automatic shut-off valve, all communicating via two-way encrypted radio. The system operates independently of Wi-Fi using cellular connectivity with backup power, enabling 24/7 monitoring even during outages.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: hardware sales of the proprietary sensor and valve components, recurring 24/7 professional monitoring subscriptions, and professional installation and integration services including site assessment, plumbing, and ongoing maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and customized, with flexible financing for residential customers and partnerships with insurance providers that offer premium discounts to policyholders. Distribution is conducted through a direct enterprise field sales model—including a VP of Business Development, Director of Sales, Director of Partner Relations – North America, Regional Account Executives, and Territory Account Managers—targeting property managers, condo boards, commercial building owners, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, construction firms, and insurance carriers. Named customers include the University of Utah, the US Bank Building in Salt Lake City, The Charleson (a 43-story high-rise), and multi-family properties in Toronto and Southern Alberta.

ZoJacks is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, is co-founded by Nate Baldry (formerly founder of Liberty Security, the largest independent alarm/home automation company in Canada at exit) and Taylor Wolsey, and operates from Midvale, Utah and Edmonton, Alberta. The company is pursuing a vertical-segmentation strategy with ten distinct solution packages spanning condos, commercial, residential, office, educational, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, construction, and insurance, with reported outcomes including a 60% reduction in water-damage-related service calls for a Toronto partner and over $250,000 in equipment replacement costs saved at the University of Utah.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights10 records

Emerging players

• Notion: Notion offers a multi-function smart home sensor (including water leak detection) that competes at the residential and small-business level. It overlaps with ZoJacks in the homeowner segment where DIY-install sensors are an alternative to ZoJacks' full-service model.
• Flologic: Flologic manufactures water leak detection and automatic shut-off products, focused primarily on residential and multi-family properties. It is comparable to ZoJacks' water-leak-detection value proposition, with a more focused product line and smaller scale.

Broad incumbents

• ADT: ADT is the largest professionally monitored security company in the US and offers water leak sensors as part of its smart-home bundle. It competes with ZoJacks at the residential and small-commercial end, with vastly greater brand recognition and a large direct sales force.
• SimpliSafe: SimpliSafe is a major DIY home security company that has expanded into environmental sensors including water leak detection. It competes for the residential homeowner buyer that ZoJacks also addresses via its Residential solution.
• Vivint: Vivint offers a full smart-home platform including water leak detection alongside security, energy, and lighting controls. It competes with ZoJacks in residential and multi-family markets where it bundles water sensors as part of a broader smart-home offering.
• Resideo Technologies: Resideo (NYSE: REZI) is the Honeywell Home spin-off and a broad smart-home and water-security incumbent. While not specializing only in water, Resideo's product portfolio includes LeakSmart and a large professional installer channel that overlaps ZoJacks' enterprise sales motion.

Direct peers

• Flo by Moen: Flo by Moen offers a smart water monitoring and automatic shut-off system for residential and light commercial properties. It is the most directly comparable consumer-and-enterprise smart water shut-off platform to ZoJacks, competing on the same core use case (leak detection plus auto shutoff) with a much larger brand and retail footprint.
• Phyn: Phyn provides smart water monitoring with auto shut-off, owned by Uponor, a major European plumbing manufacturer. Phyn directly competes with ZoJacks in the same product category and benefits from Uponor's plumbing-channel distribution, representing a well-capitalized direct rival.
• Wint: Wint provides AI-driven smart water management and leak prevention for commercial and industrial buildings. It is highly comparable to ZoJacks' commercial and industrial verticals, competing on the same property-manager and facility-management buyer.
• LeakSmart: LeakSmart (owned by Resideo Technologies, the Honeywell Homes spin-off) sells wireless water leak sensors and automatic shut-off valves for residential and multi-family properties. It is a direct product-line competitor to ZoJacks, with the added advantage of Resideo's professional installer channel.
