Alert system for detecting rising water levels

A water alert system comprising:

• a plurality of alert devices for detecting rising water levels, each of the alert devices comprising:
• a weighted base plate;
• a main body having an anterior end and a posterior end, a length therebetween and a hollow interior, the posterior end of the main body being attached to the base plate and positioned approximately vertically therefrom;
• a stabilizing rod having an anterior end and a posterior end and a length therebetween, the posterior end of the stabilizing rod being attached to the base plate and extending approximately vertically therefrom into the interior of the main body;
• a float, the float being moveably attached to the stabilizing rod smaller in diameter than the main body;
• a water level rod having an anterior end and a posterior end and a length therebetween, the float being attached to the water level rod at or near its posterior end and the water level rod extending approximately vertically therefrom into the interior of the main body;
• and
• an alarm assembly located at or within the anterior end of the main body, the alarm assembly having an activation mechanism and configured to communicate with a remote device;
• wherein the activation mechanism of the alarm assembly is activated when rising water causes the float and the attached water level rod to rise approximately vertically along the path of the stabilizing rod within the main body until the anterior end of the water level rod comes into contact with the activation mechanism of the alarm assembly, thereby activating the alarm assembly;
• and
• a remote device disposed remotely from said alert devices;
• wherein when the activation mechanism is activated, the activation mechanism triggers an alarm at said remote device.
