Consolidate heating failure information
Record affected rooms, when the issue began and existing fault signals. Heating monitoring adds histories from the equipment.

Building monitoring for property managers
Heating failure, basement water or recurring damp: property managers often first hear about problems from residents. SECURUS reveals selected conditions in your properties and notifies custodians or contractors. Each point is assigned to a building so your team can investigate and respond.
Three common problems in a property portfolio
Water, before it spreads. Leak sensors under boilers, service connections or washing machines report water as soon as it reaches the sensor. The alert names the building and monitoring point, so your maintenance team knows where to look. More under leak detection.
Heating faults: Suitable contacts or flow and return probes provide information from the plant room. Custodians and contractors receive the agreed alerts and can investigate. See heating monitoring for your properties.
Recurring damp: Temperature and humidity histories in laundry rooms and basements show when unusual conditions occur and persist. Humidity monitoring for mold prevention supports targeted investigation. It does not establish that mold is present.
How an alert works
- The sensor measures at the agreed point, for example under the boiler.
- SECURUS checks the reading against the alert rules you have set up.
- The responsible person receives an SMS or email with the building, monitoring point and time.
- Your maintenance team checks and calls in a contractor if needed. The readings then show whether the action has worked.
You decide who sees which properties and who receives which alerts, using roles and notification groups, including external custodians and service providers. Alerts can also be passed to a ticketing system via the SECURUS API.
What property managers, owners and tenants gain
Property managers: fewer search trips, clear responsibilities and an alert that says where action is needed.
Owners: damage is noticed earlier, and measures can be justified with readings.
Tenants: problems in basements, heating and common rooms can be fixed sooner.
Supplementary monitoring for drinking water hygiene
Temperature monitoring for drinking water hygiene makes readings at suitable locations traceable. It does not measure Legionella and does not replace required testing or professional assessment.
Areas of application
Suitable applications for your properties
Water at risk points
Leak detection at heating systems, service connections, washing machines and other connections.
Relevant use cases
Heating operation
Flow and return temperatures, existing fault contacts and system pressure show whether the heating is running normally.
Laundry and common rooms
Indoor climate measurement shows temperature and humidity trends, for example in laundry and drying rooms.
Service connections and consumption
Remote meter reading saves trips to read meters and shows unusual consumption, for example at night.
Common and outdoor areas
Light level trends show whether lighting in stairwells or outdoor areas stays on too long or fails.
In practice
From a resident’s call to targeted inspection
Property management needs measurement points, responsibilities and building access to work together.
Plan water detectors around risk points
Service entrances, plant rooms and laundries have different water sources and flow paths. One sensor per room is not automatically sufficient. Check where water would actually flow.
Use humidity histories objectively
Readings help narrow down periods and conditions. Involve a specialist to establish causes and measures rather than assigning responsibility from one reading.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from property managers
Do all buildings have to be equipped at once?
No. Most property managers start with a few properties and the biggest risks, such as boiler rooms with older systems. More buildings can be added at any time.
Do the sensors need Wi-Fi or a power connection?
No. Most sensors run on batteries for several years and transmit via LoRaWAN to a gateway in the building. Only the gateway needs power and an internet connection, via network cable or cellular network.
Can custodians and service providers be included?
Yes. Using roles and notification groups, you decide who sees which properties and who receives which alerts. If a service provider changes, you simply adjust the access rights.
Does a humidity sensor detect mold?
No. It measures temperature and humidity. The trends show whether a laundry room, for example, is persistently too damp and help in finding the cause. Whether there is mold and where it comes from is established by a specialist on site.
