How can you reduce rooms made unavailable by water damage in your hotels?
The stakes for a hotel go well beyond a technical incident. Assek helps teams prevent water damage, monitor building conditions more effectively and limit disruption when a response is needed.
Sensors installed in high-risk areas - rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and technical areas - combined with alerts and automatic water shutoff, help prevent a minor leak from becoming a major water damage event. For engineering and maintenance teams, this means fewer rooms out of service.
Electricity-consumption monitoring, smart thermostats and presence sensors can help adjust heating and air conditioning. For hotel management, this is a lever on operating costs and a consideration for sustainability initiatives sought in the industry, such as Green Key.
The Oblik platform centralizes sensors and alerts across the network, with API integration to your existing hotel property-management system (PMS). Teams receive information directly in their tools, without multiplying platforms or adding to front-desk or housekeeping operations.
When water damage occurs, Assek responds to dry affected spaces and help return rooms to service rather than keeping them out of service for weeks. The Secur platform tracks temperature, humidity and drying progress in real time, then produces a report that supports the hotel's insurance claim.
For certain minor incidents, the Assekur kit gives in-house teams the equipment and support they need to respond quickly, limit disruption and return spaces to service more efficiently.
The construction challenge
“Integrating Oblik with a hotel property-management system is not just about sending one more alert to an inbox. It is about making sure the information reaches the right team, at the right time, in the tool they already use, without adding another platform for the front desk or housekeeping to monitor. That kind of integration, invisible to the end user, is what makes the difference between an isolated sensor and a reliable system across a hotel network.”

Why Assek
A room out of service means lost revenue every night, a displaced guest who needs an apology, and sometimes a refund to absorb.
Prevention targets the high-risk areas of each hotel - rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and technical areas - with maintenance interventions planned outside peak periods, without adding to an already busy day.
Heating and cooling vacant or stay-over rooms is costly year-round and often relies on housekeeping memory rather than data.
Energy control automatically adjusts each room according to its real occupancy status, with savings that add up especially in low season, when a significant portion of inventory remains vacant for several days at a time.
Managing a leak alert in a platform separate from your hotel property-management system creates response delays and blind spots between the front desk, engineering and management.
Oblik integrates with your PMS by API and routes each alert to the right team according to your internal protocols, whether you manage one property or a portfolio under the same brand.
Poorly coordinated water damage disrupts adjacent rooms, complicates the insurance claim and can put compliance with chain or franchise standards at risk, particularly during a Property Improvement Plan inspection.
Assek's response logistics are designed for hotel operations, with real-time Secur monitoring and a standardized expert report that supports both your insurance file and franchisor audits.
Entrusting water-damage prevention to a provider without network-scale experience creates a risk for operational continuity.
More than 40 hotels and hotel groups across Quebec already trust us, from independent boutiques to international brands, including a full deployment with Germain Hotels across nearly 3,000 rooms in its network.
A network-scale deployment should never immobilize your rooms or teams.
Sensor and valve installation is planned property by property, often alongside normal operations, with centralized Oblik commissioning as soon as the first property is connected, so the rest of the network can follow at the pace that suits you rather than through a forced all-at-once rollout.
That depends on the source of the damage and how quickly it is detected. A leak found early often affects a single room, while an undetected leak can spread across several floors and put multiple rooms out of service at the same time.
Yes. Non-destructive drying, monitored in real time with Secur, can generally help return a room to service in a few days rather than after several weeks of renovation.
Oblik connects to your PMS through an API, as deployed at Germain Hotels, so leak-detection alerts are sent directly to the right teams without an additional platform for the front desk or housekeeping to manage.
Precise monitoring of water and electricity consumption, combined with fewer water damage events, contributes directly to the environmental-performance goals sought by certifications such as Green Key.
