Water Damage Prevention

Automatic Water Shutoff Valve

Automatically shut off the water supply as soon as a leak is detected to help limit damage before it becomes a major loss.

Product

What is our automatic water shutoff solution?

Our automatic water shutoff solution helps quickly cut the water supply when a leak occurs. It helps teams prevent a localized leak from becoming major damage requiring repairs, relocations, or an insurance claim.

Designed for condominiums, hotels, multi-residential buildings, institutions, commercial buildings, and real estate portfolios, the solution helps property managers and operations teams take a more proactive approach to water damage prevention.

With continuous monitoring, the water supply can be shut off automatically as soon as an incident is detected. Responsible teams are notified in real time and gain better visibility into events so they can respond quickly and limit consequences for the building, equipment, and occupants.

Benefits

Why automatically shut off water during a leak?

When a leak occurs, every minute counts. Automatic shutoff helps teams move from manual reaction to a faster, more structured, and better documented response.

Protect occupants, equipment, and assets

Reduce risk for units, common areas, mechanical rooms, critical equipment, and other water-sensitive areas.

Respond even when nobody is on site

Automatic shutoff helps teams act quickly, even overnight, on weekends, or when no staff member is present in the building.

Reduce loss-related costs

Limit reconstruction work, business interruptions, insurance claims, and the resources required to manage water damage.

Reduce your insurance premiums

Put a concrete water damage prevention measure in place that is recognized by several insurers.

Use

How to use an automatic water shutoff system

Automatic water shutoff is part of a leak detection, alerting, and control strategy tailored to each building.

Identify the areas and water lines to protect

Risk areas, water entries, and risers are assessed to determine where an automatic shutoff valve will deliver the most value.

Install the valve in the right location

The valve is installed on the building’s main water supply, a riser, or a specific area so water can be shut off quickly in the event of a leak or incident.

Connect the valve to leak detection and Oblik

Water leak detection sensors identify abnormal water presence quickly. Events and alerts are then centralized in Oblik, where automation rules can be configured for the building’s needs.

Shut off water and coordinate the response

When an incident matches the defined rules, the valve can shut off the water supply automatically or notify the responsible people. Oblik then helps teams track the alert, valve status, and completed interventions.

Features

Features designed to automate leak response

The automatic shutoff valve connects field detection to a concrete action: closing water quickly, notifying the right people, and keeping a record of events.

FAQ about automatic shutoff valves

An automatic shutoff valve is installed on a building’s water supply. When a leak is detected, it can automatically close the water supply to help limit damage.

Yes. The automatic shutoff valve can be opened or closed remotely from the Oblik platform by authorized users.

Yes. Depending on the building configuration, valves can be installed on risers or specific zones to isolate only the section affected by an incident.

When a leak is detected, the system can automatically shut off the water supply and send an alert to the responsible people so they can respond quickly.

An automatic shutoff valve helps limit water damage, reduce loss-related costs, support building insurability, and decrease the impact on occupants and operations.

The right choice depends on the area to protect, the plumbing configuration, the desired level of automation, and whether water needs to be shut off remotely. A solution may combine a motorized valve, an electronic controller, and a connection to a monitoring platform, depending on the building’s needs.

Assek assesses water entries, risk areas, and building operations to recommend an appropriate configuration.

Yes. When a leak detection system identifies abnormal water presence, it can send an alert to the valve and trigger automatic water shutoff according to the configured rules.

This response helps limit water flow at the source and notify the responsible people so they can assess the situation and respond quickly.
