Prevention and response

How Assek helps protect your condominium from water damage

From detection to response, Assek solutions help condominium corporations reduce the severity of incidents and maintain clear visibility across their real estate portfolio.

Water leak detection

Discreet water leak sensors installed in private units (under kitchen sinks, behind toilets, beneath dishwashers, behind refrigerators, in bathrooms and beneath washing machines), as well as in common high-risk areas (the building laundry room, mechanical rooms and beneath water heaters), alert owners by text message, email, phone call and/or notification as soon as a leak occurs. As a property manager or condominium administrator, you choose how you want to be notified: immediately or through escalation if the owner does not respond, according to what best suits your corporation. The owner can verify on site that the incident is under control before it reaches your desk as a complaint, insurance claim or unexpected cost to the reserve fund.

Automatic water shutoff

As soon as a leak is detected, water is automatically shut off, without requiring you to respond in the middle of the night or coordinate an emergency response. The owner is alerted immediately; if they confirm on site that no sensor is wet, they can turn the water back on themselves, without having to call you or wait for a technician. What could have become a costly matter, a complicated insurance claim and weeks spent managing unhappy co-owners becomes an entry in a report, already resolved before it reaches your desk.

Testimonials

Testimonials

Assek installed shut-off valves, and everyone is satisfied. The installation went smoothly, largely because of the cooperation of all co-owners. We should also recognize the plumber's good humour and the impeccable work of Assek's technicians, who showed courtesy, competence and attention to detail. Thank you to William, Antoine, Pascal and Nicolas. We hope the professional relationship between Assek and Rosemont Les Quartiers will continue for a long time.

Léo-Paul Bienvenu, Vice-President of the Board, Rosemont Les Quartiers Condominium Corporation

Whether we start from scratch on a new tower or take over an existing real estate portfolio, what matters to me as a property manager is seeing everything in one place, right the first time. With Assek, we now track more than 1,000 installed devices across our condominium corporations, with 100% connectivity: peace of mind we had never had before.

Constance N., condominium corporation manager

In a condo tower, every minute counts before a leak reaches a neighbour's unit. Our job is to detect and shut off water quickly enough that it does not become an incident for the property manager and board. When water damage is already present, our drying team can take over immediately.

William Chevarie, Director of Business Development, Assek Technologies

I would like to thank the entire Assek team for your professionalism, availability and the quality of the work completed. The entire project was carried out efficiently, and we are very satisfied with the results achieved. Thank you again for your support throughout this project. Our thanks to the entire team for their excellent work.

Your challenges

Why choose Assek for your condominium projects?

Challenges

One leak can affect several units

An undetected leak can quickly affect several units, common areas and lower floors, while creating complex claims between co-owners.

Assek benefits

Detect and alert quickly

Water leak detection monitors high-risk areas and quickly alerts the right people so the corporation can respond before damage becomes more extensive.

Challenges

Complex discussions with insurers

High deductibles, repeated claims and a lack of documented measures complicate discussions with insurers.

Assek benefits

Document preventive measures

Assek tools help document alerts, interventions and control measures to support discussions with insurers and administrators.

Challenges

Limited visibility across the building

Without centralized visibility, it is difficult to monitor mechanical rooms, risers, common areas and vacant units.

Assek benefits

Centralize monitoring with Oblik

Oblik brings prevention and monitoring information together on one platform so the property manager and board can follow priority situations.

Challenges

A delayed response disrupts co-owners

A delayed response disrupts co-owners, can require relocations and may delay the return to service of affected units.

Assek benefits

Return affected spaces to service faster

Non-destructive drying solutions help limit disruption and return affected spaces to service faster when damage is already present.

Challenges

Preventive investments are difficult to justify

Preventive investment decisions can be difficult to explain to co-owners when risks and incidents are not clearly tracked.

Assek benefits

Support decisions with clear documentation

Accessible documentation of events and interventions helps support board decisions and communicate more clearly with co-owners.

FAQ

Bill 16 requires a maintenance log and a reserve fund study, without explicitly requiring sensors. Many boards choose connected detection as a proactive measure to reduce costly losses and protect the reserve fund.

The cost varies according to the number of private units and high-risk areas. Assek offers a free building assessment to develop a recommendation that fits the condominium corporation’s budget.

A structured response that includes assessment, non-destructive drying and validation can often limit relocations and avoid major renovations, even when several co-owners are affected. The file is also documented to support the condominium corporation’s insurance claim.
