ABSTRACT:
A method and device for detecting water leaks is disclosed. The method and device comprise an odorant in a water soluble barrier. The odorant and water soluble barrier can be contained in a housing and placed in a location where water leakage can occur. In the method and device described herein, leaking water dissolves the barrier and releases the odorant into the atmosphere thereby alerting persons to the presence of water as a result of a leak.
