LeakBot rolls out to 160k Danish homes
Ondo InsurTech announced that Alm. Brand will expand LeakBot — a claims prevention product — to cover 160,000 Danish homeowners across multiple insurer brands including Codan. The announcement describes a tangible preventative deployment rather than a pilot. (x.com)
Alm. Brand Group is expanding Ondo InsurTech’s LeakBot program to up to 160,000 Danish homeowners, moving the device from a limited rollout to a broad deployment. (londonstockexchange.com) Ondo said on April 13 that the offer will run across Alm. Brand Group’s brands, including Alm. Brand, Codan and Privatsikring. The new target is far above the minimum 15,000 devices Alm. Brand committed to distribute over 18 months in February 2026. (investegate.co.uk) That February decision came after a trial that Ondo said began in early 2025 and led Alm. Brand to move into a full rollout. Ondo first announced an agreement with Alm. Brand Group in December 2024, when it described the insurer as one of Denmark’s largest non-life insurance groups with more than 700,000 customers. (londonstockexchange.com, ft.com) LeakBot is a clip-on sensor for a home’s incoming water pipe that connects to Wi‑Fi and watches for hidden leaks before damage shows up on walls or floors. Ondo says the device measures pipe and air temperatures, sends alerts through a mobile app, and links customers to repair support when it detects a problem. (leakbot.io, londonstockexchange.com) The pitch to insurers is simple: fix small leaks before they become large claims. Ondo says independent research by Consumer Intelligence found LeakBot can cut water-damage claim costs by up to 70%, though that figure comes from company-cited research rather than a public regulator or academic study. (londonstockexchange.com, ondoplc.com) Ondo has been using insurer partnerships to scale LeakBot beyond Britain, and Denmark has become one of its main expansion markets. Ondo’s website lists a separate August 2025 agreement with If in Denmark, alongside U.S. rollouts with carriers including Nationwide, Westfield and Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance. (ondoplc.com, news.nationwide.com) For Alm. Brand, the move puts leak prevention inside mainstream home-insurance brands rather than in a small test group. For Ondo, the 160,000-home figure gives it a live reference case in Scandinavia that is much larger than the 15,000-device commitment it disclosed two months earlier.
