Add paper to improve detection
There are good detectors. I like the long cable for the sensor. I improved its detection capability by taping a piece of paper on the bottom. It rests on the paper and absorbs water , setting the sensors off after a few seconds. Without this it wasn't able to detect water running down concrete with a grade. The water level would have come up a bit to trip the sensors.
