What is the best system to detect water leaks in a building?

Leak sensors at the points where water appears first, such as plant rooms, risers and basements, combined with the main meter's consumption to catch hidden leaks. Alerts must reach someone who can act, also at night.

Can it close the water automatically?

Yes, if the installation has a LoRaWAN motorized valve. A rule closes it when a sensor detects water, and you open it again from the web or the app.

How do I find a leak I cannot see?

With a pulse reader on the main meter. If consumption never drops at night, there is water going somewhere. The platform alerts you, and a leak detection company can then locate the exact point.

Do the sensors need Wi-Fi or power?

No. They run on batteries and send over LoRaWAN, which reaches basements and shafts. One gateway usually covers the building.

Can a property manager see all buildings in one place?

Yes. Every building reports to the same platform, with its alerts and history, from the web or the iOS and Android app.

Residential buildings and property managers

Sensors in the boiler room, the meter room and the garage, and the main meter watched at night, for every building in the portfolio.

Hotels, offices and residences

A leak in an empty room or on a closed floor reaches the maintenance phone at night, before it goes through the ceiling below.

Maintenance companies and integrators

Offer leak detection to your clients under your own brand, with one platform for every building you look after.

Two ways to catch a leak

Sensors where the water would appear, and the meter for the leaks you cannot see. Battery-powered, no new cabling.

Spot leak sensors

Under boilers, water heaters, tanks, washing machines and AC units, and in plant rooms, lift pits and basements. They alert as soon as water touches the probe.

Sensing cable

Laid along a pipe, a riser or the edge of a room, to cover a line instead of a point.

Main meter, hidden leaks

A pulse reader on the building's meter shows consumption by hour. Flow that never stops at night points to a leak inside walls or underground.

Automatic shut-off

Where the installation has a LoRaWAN motorized valve, a rule can close the water when a sensor detects a leak, and you open it again from the app.

LoRaWAN gateway

One gateway usually covers a building, basements included.

Reference sensors

Catalog devices we already integrate, with their decoder ready. For each installation we pick the model that fits best.

Water leak detection in buildings: what to install and where

Most water damage starts small: a fitting under a boiler, a riser in a shaft, a tank overflowing in a basement. The cost comes from the hours nobody sees it. A detection system turns those hours into minutes.

Where to put the sensors

Plant rooms: boilers, water heaters, pumps, pressure groups and tanks. One sensor at the lowest point of the floor.
Risers and shafts: a sensing cable at the base, where water from a broken pipe collects.
Basements, garages and lift pits: the places that flood first and that nobody visits.
Under equipment: AC units, washing machines, dishwashers and kitchens in hotels, offices and residences.
Main meter: a pulse reader for the leaks that never reach a sensor: inside walls, under slabs or in buried pipes.

Consumer devices or a building system?

Home brands such as Grohe Sense, Flo by Moen, Phyn, Tapo or Ajax WaterStop work well in a single home on its Wi-Fi. Building specialists, such as Aqualeak, FugaTec, Polygon or WINT, sell systems for larger properties. Our approach is battery LoRaWAN sensors that reach basements where Wi-Fi does not, and one platform for every building, with alerts that can call the person on duty.

	Home Wi-Fi devices	LoRaWAN sensors + platform

Many buildings	One app per home	Every building on one platform
Alerts	Push to the owner's phone	Email, SMS, WhatsApp, call or push to whoever is on duty

Closing the water automatically

Detection is the first step. If the installation has a motorized valve that speaks LoRaWAN, a rule on the platform can close it when a sensor detects water, and it is opened again from the web or the app once the cause is fixed. Where there is no valve, the alert goes to whoever can close it by hand.

Alerts that reach someone at night

Each alert can go by email, SMS, WhatsApp, voice call or push notification in the iOS and Android app. Choose who is told for each building, and use the voice call for water on the floor, which cannot wait until morning.

The platform runs on AWS (Frankfurt for Europe, United States for the rest of the world) or on your own servers, and maintenance companies can offer it under their own brand with the white-label option.
