How to Detect Leaks in a Commercial Building

To prevent such problems, protect your investment, reduce repair along with remediation expenses, while decreasing the chance of hidden, long-lasting consequences. 

The recent advancements in water leak sensing and shut-off technology make it easy to catch a leak at its source and fix the problem before it is too late. Installing a leak detection system in a commercial building is extremely beneficial, as it allows for the early detection of water leaks and the prevention of water damage.

An integrated automatic water leak system will alert the building management to the precise location of a leak, within minutes of detection (water sensors are working 24/7 to detect water leaks and send an alert as soon as they sense water):

• ⋅ Wireless water leak detectors – The building is retrofitted with wireless sensors that respond with a local alarm and deliver notifications by phone, text and email to the building managers when a leak occurs;
• ⋅ Cloud-based sensors – Cloud-based sensors are placed at sites of potential leaks – sinks, toilets, basements, plumbing chases, etc. – and can combine data from all units into a single portal that is monitored by the building operators;
• ⋅ Automated sensors – These advanced water leak sensors automatically shut off water in certain applications when a leak is detected.

Well-designed water leak detection equipment is easy to install, very affordable, and highly efficient. It ensures business continuity and helps avoid costly repairs.
