Systems and methods for detecting and preventing damage to pipes

A computing device for detecting a leak based upon home telematics data, the computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a communication unit;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors and the communication unit and storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
• receive home telematics data from one or more sensors associated with one or more pipes in a structure, wherein the home telematics data is indicative of a frequency with which the one or more pipes are being used;
• determine, using a trained machine learning algorithm, that the one or more pipes are leaking based upon at least the frequency with which the one or more pipes are being used;
• initiate one or more preventative actions based upon the determination that the one or more pipes are leaking;
• and
• generate, based upon the home telematics data, a structure damage estimate indicative of (i) the determination that the one or more pipes are leaking and (ii) the one or more preventative actions.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for detecting a leak based upon home telematics data that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• receive home telematics data from one or more sensors associated with one or more pipes in a structure, wherein the home telematics data is indicative of a frequency with which the one or more pipes are being used;
• determine, using a trained machine learning model, that the one or more pipes are leaking based upon at least the frequency with which the one or more pipes are being used;
• initiate one or more preventative actions based upon the determination that the one or more pipes are leaking;
• and
• generate, based upon the home telematics data, a structure damage estimate indicative of (i) the determination that the one or more pipes are leaking and (ii) the one or more preventative actions.
