if you have 2 ft wide gutters cant you send one of the servants up instead? 

Yes it's a very big house. 

Unfortunatly - you could say I am one of the servants ! 

 

 

Why connect the float alarm to the burglar alarm? Surely you only need to be informed if there is a problem. You could wire it up to a doorbell or similar.

It would also be a ball ache to calibrate correctly.

I wouldn't want it triggering an intruder alarm I would want something separate. There are flood detectors available that maybe able to work for your application.

 

We use the Kentec Hydrosense system (available all over - do a google search for "kentec leak detection").  Can either have a local sounder etc, or connect to dialler / redcare, or local pagers etc.

Make sure it's different to your usual doorbell sound, although judging by how the house sounds I assume that's one of Big Bens cast-offs?
