Leak detectors can help, but honestly, regular visual checks and a simple tray liner under the sink might be just as effective. Sensors can malfunction or give false alarms...sometimes simpler solutions save you headaches later on.
Totally agree with keeping it simple. A few years back, I went all-in on those fancy leak sensors for peace of mind. They worked fine at first, but after a while, they started randomly beeping at 2 am...talk about a rude awakening. Eventually, I just unplugged them and went back to the basics—regular checks and a cheap liner under the sink.
Honestly, you're already ahead of the game by thinking proactively about leaks. Most people don't even consider it until there's water pooling on the floor. Your approach sounds practical and effective without overcomplicating things. Plus, visual checks give you a chance to spot other potential issues early on, like loose fittings or corrosion.
You're doing great—trust your instincts and keep it straightforward.
