How can you dry and protect a healthcare facility after water damage without interrupting quality of care?
Prevention and response
Documented response and accessible data to help teams protect sensitive areas, limit disruption, and stay in control.
From assessment to case closure, Assek coordinates non-destructive drying and expert reporting for every affected room. Particular attention is given to areas where closure is not an option, including operating rooms, recovery rooms, intensive care, emergency departments, hemodynamics, and neonatal care.
Secur centralizes affected-area maps, humidity and temperature trends, and the complete response history. For a health authority operating several facilities, this traceability supports accreditation work and return-to-service decisions.
Sensors installed in at-risk areas, including medical device reprocessing units, laundry rooms, and HVAC technical rooms, alert teams in real time. They can integrate with an automatic shutoff valve to help reduce the risk that a functional unit needs to close.
Real-time monitoring of humidity, temperature, pressure, and air quality helps protect sensitive areas. It also supports monitoring of negative- or positive-pressure isolation rooms, including their anterooms, during construction work or a response.
Oblik makes sensors, alerts, and active responses visible in real time, regardless of the building or facility. Teams gain an overall view without multiplying points of contact or chasing information.
Testimonials
As a manager at CIUSSS de l'Estrie-CHUS, I have dealt with several water damage incidents, including some in critical areas that could not be closed. Assek Technologies' non-destructive drying solution proved well suited to our needs. Their ability to respond quickly without disrupting operations, while respecting infection-prevention and control requirements, was a major asset.
In a hospital, every response begins with a rigorous assessment: thermography, humidity measurements, and an expert report, before drying is even considered. We also rely on environmental control and our Secur platform so the facility team has real-time visibility into each room's condition from the beginning to case closure.

Why Assek
Solutions designed to support continuity of care, rigorous response, and clear visibility for teams.
A critical area cannot always close
Water damage can affect rooms where continuity of care, patient safety, and infection-prevention and control requirements remain priorities.
Assessment, non-destructive drying, temporary containment, and environmental-condition monitoring are adapted to the context of each room.
Every decision needs to be traceable
Teams need to follow the condition of each room, document validation, and support return-to-service decisions.
Secur brings together data, history, and the information needed to support response and re-entry decisions.
Risks are spread across several facilities
Within a health authority, information can be scattered among buildings, teams, and active responses.
Sensors and Oblik make alerts, conditions, and responses visible in one place.
Yes. An approach that combines temporary containment with continuous monitoring of pressure and HVAC conditions can often allow affected rooms to be treated while adjacent functional units remain in operation.
Guidance from the INSPQ, Health Canada, the IICRC, and CSA Z317.13-12 informs microbiological and technical validation before spaces return to service, including areas used for medical device reprocessing.
Temporary containment with an anteroom, combined with continuous differential-pressure monitoring, can help maintain the required respiratory or protective isolation conditions during the response.
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage. A structured response can nevertheless support a return to operations in one to two weeks, even when several dozen rooms are affected.
