Water in a basement, a leaking connection in a plant room or a leak under a dishwasher: wireless water detectors report water when it reaches their detection area. SECURUS identifies the building and room and notifies the responsible people, helping them investigate and limit potential damage sooner.
Example data for illustration. You set the thresholds yourself in the platform.
Sensors record readings or events directly on site.
Boiler room · Water detectedVia LoRaWAN to a gateway within range, then through its internet connection to the platform.
The platform checks every value against your thresholds, rules and time windows.
Report water detectionThe responsible person receives an SMS or email with location, time and trigger.
A water sensor only reports what reaches it. That is why a walk through the building comes first: where are water pipes, connections and appliances, and where would escaping water run? These points are part of almost every building:
The actual repair, for example of a leaking connection, is usually manageable. The consequences are what make it expensive: soaked screed and wet walls that need technical drying, damaged equipment, spoiled stock and rooms that cannot be used for weeks. In apartment buildings, affected tenants come on top.
Potential damage depends on factors including the amount of escaping water, its path and the time until someone intervenes. A water alarm can help detect a leak sooner, including at night or over the weekend. A prompt response requires agreed recipients, access and actions.
For dealing with insurers and contractors it also matters when the damage began. The alarm history shows when the sensor first reported water and who was notified.
The responsible person receives an SMS or email with building, room and measuring point and checks on site. With notification groups you decide who is informed, for example the custodian, the facility team and an external plumbing contractor. The facility team acknowledges the alarm in the dashboard, and the alarm history documents what happened.
Shutting off the water and repairs remain the job of the facility team or plumbing contractor. An automatic shut-off valve is not part of the standard setup and would have to be planned separately.
Not every leak reaches a sensor. A burst pipe in a wall or a leaking pipe under the screed shows up as unusual consumption instead. Remote meter reading makes continuous consumption at night visible and complements leak detection at the risk points.
If you look after many properties, you cannot check every basement regularly. In SECURUS each sensor is assigned to a building and room. Alerts go to the people responsible for that property: the custodian on site, the management or a service partner who is given access to the systems they look after.
In the dashboard you see all properties on the map, and sites with an active alarm are marked straight away. This way property managers, store networks and municipal properties keep an overview without extra inspection rounds.
To get started, one building with the most important risk points is often enough. More sensors and sites can be added at any time.
A detector helps where escaping water reaches it and someone responsible can respond. Include these points in your planning.
An audible water alarm helps when someone nearby can hear it. Remote plant rooms and multiple buildings also need a way to notify the responsible team. Start by deciding who should respond and what response times your risk areas require.
Water finds the lowest point. A leak sensor therefore belongs where escaping water collects first: on the floor in front of the source, in dips, at floor drains or along a wall with a fall. In the wrong place it reports late or not at all.
Each location suits a different design. A probe monitors one point, for example under the boiler. A sensing cable reports water along its whole length, for example along pipes or in a server room. A membrane covers surfaces, and a mini sensor is simply placed on the floor. You can find the devices in the overview of leak sensors.
Test detection and the complete notification path according to manufacturer instructions. Review connectivity, battery condition and actual placement regularly. Alterations or changes of use may require a different measurement point.
A simple water alarm beeps on site when it gets wet. A networked leak sensor sends the alarm by radio to SECURUS, and the platform notifies the responsible people by SMS and email. So the alarm gets through even when nobody is in the building.
SECURUS combines wireless water alarms with alerts by SMS, email and dashboard. As soon as a sensor detects water, the registered people receive an alert with building, room and measuring point.
Only if the water reaches the sensor. Hidden leaks tend to show up as unusual consumption in remote meter reading.
One per risk point, for example at the boiler, in the service entry room and next to the sewage lifting station. A sensing cable suits longer runs along pipes. Most people start with boiler and plant rooms and then expand.
No. The sensors run on batteries and transmit via LoRaWAN to a gateway in the building, for up to ten years depending on the model. The gateway forwards the data to the SECURUS Cloud via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular network.
SECURUS reports when a device goes offline. That way you notice when a measuring point stops sending, for example because of a flat battery.
Not as standard. SECURUS detects and reports the leak, while the facility team shuts off the water and carries out the repair. An automatic shut-off valve would have to be planned separately.
