How can a school, college or university dry a water-damaged space without closing teaching areas?
An approach designed for education
Useful information to act early, limit the consequences of an incident and support operational continuity.
Air-quality, temperature and humidity sensors can be installed in classrooms. Vaping and smoke detectors can also be deployed in washrooms and locker rooms. Data is centralized in Oblik to support team follow-up, without cameras or intrusive monitoring of students.
In mechanical rooms, laundry rooms, beneath laboratory sinks and in washrooms, leak detection combined with automatic shutoff can help limit the scope of an incident. For facilities teams, that can mean fewer spaces to close and less pressure on emergency repair budgets.
When water damage occurs, the Assek team provides a detailed diagnosis, non-destructive drying where possible and an expert report for affected spaces. Interventions can be coordinated with the academic calendar to limit disruptions to classes, exams and campus activity.

Testimonials
Water damage never happens in the basement. It always happens on the upper floors. Since our first major incident in 2014, Assek has helped us move from crisis management to genuine autonomy in handling minor incidents. We have had a trusted relationship for more than ten years.
Fifty-five thousand active sensors in more than 2,000 school buildings creates a very specific engineering challenge: maintaining consistent availability regardless of a building's age or wall thickness. The data itself is not the challenge. It is the reliability of the network that carries it, without requiring a technician to travel on site.
Why Assek
Protect maintenance budgets and reduce administrative pressure
A detection, alerting and control approach helps reduce emergency repairs, interruptions and the workload associated with claims.
Detect water leaks in risk areas and limit the scope of water damage
Sensors and alerts help facilities teams be informed quickly of anomalies in mechanical rooms, laboratories, washrooms and laundry rooms.
Keep teaching spaces available and limit academic disruption
Interventions planned and coordinated around the school calendar help limit class disruptions, avoid affecting exam periods and prevent an entire building from closing because of a localized incident.
Meet expectations for air quality and the comfort of students and staff
One platform for air quality, vaping detection and energy control, without coordinating three separate vendors.
Document incidents for teams and insurers
Expert and follow-up reports support internal coordination and insurance claims.
Yes, especially when air quality or site safety has not yet been validated. A fast response and environmental validation can often help reopen spaces sooner without closing an entire building.
Yes. Student residences follow a model similar to multi-residential buildings: detection in risk areas and, for minor incidents, first-level autonomy with the Assekur kit.
The Assekur kit includes fans, specialized tools, fittings and tubing. It allows an internal maintenance team to dry five to six spaces affected by a minor water incident without relying on an external responder every time.
Yes. Assek has completed more than 180 drying interventions across Quebec’s education network, including nearly 50 school service centres and school boards, about 40 colleges and more than 100 interventions in the university network.
