Water Damage Prevention

Water Leak Detection

Quickly detect the presence of water in critical areas of your buildings so your teams can respond before a minor incident becomes major damage.

Product

What is our water leak detection solution?

Our water leak detection solution helps quickly identify the presence of water in critical areas of a building so teams can respond before a minor incident becomes major damage.

 

Designed for condominiums, hotels, multi-residential buildings, institutions, and commercial properties, it helps property teams reduce leak-related risk, protect their assets, and limit operational disruption.

 

Whether you need to protect a few strategic pieces of equipment or deploy thousands of detection points across an entire real estate portfolio, Assek solutions provide continuous monitoring and real-time alerts so teams can act at the first signs of a problem.

Benefits

Why detect leaks earlier?

The detector acts as the first field signal: it helps identify water in the right place before a localized incident becomes more costly to manage.

Respond before damage gets worse

Get notified at the first signs of a leak so your teams can respond quickly and limit the impact on the building and its occupants.

Reduce costs related to water damage

Fast detection can often reduce the scale of the loss, corrective work, and insurance claims.

Protect the most critical areas

Monitor spaces where risks are highest, such as mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, units, and sensitive equipment.

Gain peace of mind

Maintain continuous monitoring of your buildings without relying on manual checks or waiting until a problem becomes visible.

Use

How to use water leak detection

An effective detection strategy starts by identifying the areas where a leak could have the greatest consequences, then by organizing alerts and the team's response.

Prioritize risk areas

The locations to monitor are defined based on the building type, water sources, equipment present, and the potential consequences of a leak for occupants, operations, or assets.

Install sensors in the right places

Detectors are placed near equipment, pipes, drains, appliances, or surfaces where a break or malfunction could cause a water leak.

Configure alerts and the response

Once sensors and devices are installed, they are configured in our platform to identify their location, the people responsible for alerts, and the expected response. This gives teams a clear framework for tracking alerts and coordinating their response.

Respond in real time and optimize

Teams receive an alert and can respond quickly. In areas where a leak can cause significant damage, detection can be integrated with an automatic water shutoff valve to close the water supply immediately or isolate a specific zone.

Features

Features designed for every risk area

The detector acts as a field monitoring point: it identifies the presence of water where the risk starts and transmits that information to the system.

Localized or large-area detection

• Configuration adapted to each critical area • Point probe or large-area detection probe • Flexible positioning based on operational needs • Fast identification of affected areas

Real-time alerts

• Immediate detection of water presence • Detection of freezing conditions • Fast transmission of information to responsible teams • Event tracking and alert history

When risk warrants an automated response, a detection alert can trigger an action. An automatic water shutoff valve can then close the supply according to the configured rules in Oblik to limit water flow at the source.

Simple and flexible installation

• Secure, long-range wireless connectivity • Fast installation in risk areas • Compatible with existing buildings • No dependency on the building's Wi-Fi network

Integration with existing systems

• Compatible with the Oblik platform • Integration with Assek solutions • Centralized events and alerts • Scalable based on building needs

Why Assek

Why choose Assek's water leak detection?

An effective detection strategy depends as much on the right sensors as on integration, data, and the ability to act when an incident occurs.

FAQ about water leak detection

Detectors are installed in risk areas to quickly identify the presence of water. When a leak is detected, an alert is sent to the responsible people so they can respond quickly.

Detectors are generally installed near water-using equipment, in mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, technical rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, units, and other areas where leak risk is higher.

No. Assek technologies do not need the building’s Wi-Fi network to operate. They use their own communication infrastructure to provide reliable and secure connectivity.

Yes. Assek water leak detection solutions are designed for both existing buildings and new construction projects.

Assek combines proven technologies, recognized water-risk expertise, and experience across thousands of buildings to help organizations detect leaks earlier and reduce the impact of water damage.

Yes. When a leak is detected, the alert can be integrated with an automatic shutoff valve to close the water supply according to the rules defined for the building.

This configuration helps limit water flow at the source and supports a faster response from the responsible teams. Learn more about configuration and applications on our automatic water shutoff valve page.
