العربية Water leak detection
A water leak detection system that calls before the ceiling drips
Under the water heater, behind the dishwasher, along the riser, in the server room — small puddles become five-figure claims quietly. Battery-powered leak sensors sit at every risk point and raise the alarm the moment they get wet.
01
The first detector is the ceiling below
Most leaks are discovered by the neighbor downstairs, a stained ceiling tile, or a wet carpet on Monday morning. By then the water has been running for hours — sometimes days.
02
Weekends are 60 hours of free flow
A supply hose that fails on Friday evening runs until someone unlocks the door on Monday. Water damage doesn’t bill by the leak — it bills by the hour it goes unnoticed.
03
Insurance covers the money, not the disruption
Even a paid claim means torn-out floors, drying machines, and rooms out of service for weeks. Prevention is the only version of this story that ends well.

Place sensors at every risk point
Spot and rope leak sensors go under boilers, sinks, risers, and server racks. They run for years on batteries and need no wiring — LoRaWAN reaches through concrete, so basements are covered too.
See every point on one screen
Dashboards and the 3D building twin show each sensor in place. Green means dry; the moment one turns, you know exactly which room and which pipe.
Alert people — or close the valve
The escalation chain notifies the caretaker, then the manager — push, SMS, or email — until someone reacts. Rules can also send a command to a connected shut-off valve automatically.
Hardware, ready to work
Get proven leak sensors and gateways from the Kilo Electronics store — pre-configured on request, so every device arrives ready to place under the pipe. No IoT team required.

Water leak detection FAQ
Where should leak sensors be placed?
Anywhere water can escape or pool: under water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, along risers and supply lines, in plant rooms, under raised server-room floors, and at low points in basements. Rope sensors cover runs; spot sensors cover single points.
Do the sensors need wiring or Wi-Fi?
No. Battery-powered LoRaWAN and mioty sensors run for years without maintenance, and one gateway typically covers an entire building — including concrete basements where Wi-Fi never reaches.
Can the system shut the water off automatically?
Yes. The rules engine can execute a command on a connected device, so a wet sensor can both trigger the alarm chain and close a connected motorized shut-off valve.
What happens if the first person doesn’t react?
Every alarm carries an escalation chain: if the first tier doesn’t resolve it, the next tiers are notified — each with its own recipients and channels (email, SMS, push with Critical Alerts), until the leak is handled.
