Last month, a Vancouver condo building lost $800K when a water heater burst overnight. The damage spread through 12 floors before anyone noticed. Our water detection sensors would have caught that leak in the first 30 seconds, automatically shutting off the water supply and alerting building management. That's the difference between a minor repair and a catastrophic loss. Our Flood & Water Leak Detection service gives you that crucial early warning.
Here's how our water detection system works in real-world scenarios, based on thousands of installations across Canada.
Our sensors detect water in as little as 0.5mm, before you'd even notice a puddle. At a Calgary office, we caught a slow leak under a sink dripping below. The manager was notified within 30 seconds, saving them from a $25K claim.
At a Toronto construction site, our sensors protected $2M worth of materials. When a pipe burst, our system shut off the water and alerted the supervisor. Materials stayed dry, project stayed on schedule.
A Montreal data center monitors their server room 24/7 with our system. When a cooling leak threatened $500K worth of servers, we detected it immediately. We contacted the manager within 15 seconds and contained the leak.
An Edmonton apartment building reduced their water damage insurance claims by 90% after installing our system. Their insurer reduced their premiums by $45K annually. The system paid for itself in insurance savings alone.
Here's what our clients say makes the biggest difference to their operations and bottom line.
Our sensors caught a slow leak in a Winnipeg restaurant's kitchen that was dripping into the basement storage. The manager was notified immediately, and the leak was fixed before it could damage $50K worth of inventory. "That one detection saved us from closing for a week," the owner told us.
At a Halifax shipyard, our sensors protected $3M worth of marine equipment stored in a warehouse. When a storm caused roof damage and water started leaking in, our system immediately shut off the water supply and alerted the facility manager. The equipment stayed dry, and the project stayed on schedule.
A Vancouver medical clinic uses our system to monitor their MRI room 24/7. When a cooling system leak threatened $2M worth of equipment, our sensors detected the water immediately. The monitoring centre contacted the facility manager within 15 seconds, and the leak was contained before any equipment was damaged.
A Calgary office building reduced their water damage insurance claims by 85% after installing our system. Their insurer recognized the proactive approach and reduced their premiums by $60K annually. "The system paid for itself in insurance savings alone," the property manager told us. "Plus, we haven't had a single water damage claim in three years."
At a Regina chemical plant, our sensors prevented a major environmental incident when a storage tank leak threatened to contaminate nearby waterways. Early detection allowed the plant to contain the leak before it could spread, protecting both the environment and the company's reputation. "The environmental compliance alone was worth the investment," the plant manager said.
