All About Our Fire & Flood Systems

Many people think of home security as helping to protect from a break-in, but there is so much more offered with our systems. A major benefit to our home security system at the Lake of the Ozarks is our disaster monitoring features. The best security company in Missouri wants to help our customers feel at ease about protecting and monitoring their homes. Fort Knox Alarm & Security has provided some further details on our system features that can help protect your home in a number of ways.

Fire Safety Device


According to the National Fire Protection Association, there were about 365,500 home fires in the United Sates in 2015. While there are steps that can be taken to help prevent a fire in the home, it can still occur. Protecting your home and minimizing damage can be achieved through one of our fire safety devices. The first line of defense is the smoke detector. If the alarm is triggered, the thermostat will turn the ventilation system off, to keep smoke from circulating throughout the home. The smoke detector can also send an alert if the area is getting warmer than normal, therefore letting the homeowner than something may be wrong inside their home. Along with notifying the owners, our security system is also set up to notify law enforcement and emergency personnel of an issue. The fire department will get a call if your system detects a fire in the home. Instead of getting an alert and calling yourself, the system directly alerts emergency responders of your issue and home location.

Flood Alert & Prevention Device


Although it may not seem like winter is getting close since we are experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures in Missouri, cooler weather is right around the corner. A major problem that occurs in a home during the winter is a pipe freezing and breaking. When water freezes inside a pipe, it can expand inside the pipe, causing it to break. Once the water begins to thaw, the water will rush out of the broken pipe. Water can cause a large amount of damage to the inside of a home, if a pipe breaks. Our flood alert system can help prevent a pipe break, and notify owners if one does occur. The thermostat can be set to automatically kick on if the temperature inside the house drops below a certain point.

While we can help protect and arm your entire home, we do offer specialty features like our fire and flood systems. If you have experienced the unfortunate event of water or fire damage in a house, you know the devastating impact it can have on your entire life. Help to protect your home from such a disaster with Fort Knox Alarm & Security. Give us a call at 573-347-3800 to schedule a free consultation about a home alarm system.
