The present invention is directed to a water detector comprising a self-contained power source, a moisture sensor pad, an alarm, and a casing housing the power source, the moisture sensor pad and the alarm; the water detector activating the alarm using the self-contained power source when the moisture sensor pad detects a predetermined level of moisture in a surrounding environment of the water detector; wherein, the casing comprises a substantially elongate body having an upper, free end, and, a ceiling-abufting plate connected to a lower end of the elongate body. The advantage of providing the water detector having a substantially elongate body is that the water detector can be quickly and easily installed in a ceiling by inserting the free end of the water detector through a hole in the ceiling so that a majority of the elongate body is situated above the ceiling, hidden from view, with substantially only the ceiling abutting plate on view. <Figure 1>(Figure 1) |
