The sensor lies far from the likely location of the water
WATER UNDER CONTROL
Water Leak Protection
Sensors at risk points, a controller, and a clear response scenario for apartments, houses, and commercial premises. Design, Installation and Maintenance in Almaty and Kazakhstan.
MAIN RESULT
The system should detect water where it first appears, report the event, and trigger a pre-agreed reaction — before a small leak becomes a repair of several rooms.
HOW THIS WORKS IN REAL LIFE
A scenario understandable without technical terms
The owner left, and the hose under the sink lost its seal. The sensor at the risk point detects water, the system triggers an alarm, and if a drive is installed, shuts off the selected line. The application shows where the event occurred and what the automation did.
WEAKNESSES
Why a separate device is not enough
Location, communication, power, reaction logic, and maintenance determine reliability—not just the brand of the sensor or actuator.
Notification comes, but there’s no one to turn off the water
The wireless sensor battery ran out without reporting a fault
One Common Valve Leaves the Whole House Without Water in Case of Local Accident
ENGINEERING SCENARIO
What We Design & Inspect
Each step should have a clear result and manual verification method.
- 01
Identify all risk points: kitchen, bathrooms, boiler room, collectors, washing machine and dishwasher
- 02
We choose wired or wireless sensors with communication and battery monitoring
- 03
Setting up an address notification: in which zone there is water and what action was performed
- 04
Conduct a real water test and provide the test procedure
IMPORTANT IN THE PROJECT
What must be addressed from the start
- Sensor accessibility for battery check and replacement
- Installation without damaging the finish
- Line break monitoring for wired sensors
- Compatibility with valves, controller, and home automation
TRANSFER TO OWNER
What you receive beyond the equipment
- Control Point Map
- Configured notifications to owners
- Proven Alarm Scenario
- Test and Maintenance Instructions
- Possibility to expand the system with auto-overlap
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Questions: leak protection
Short answers to questions that affect the composition, cost, and reliability of the solution.
01Where do leak sensors fit?
At the lowest point near connections and appliances, where water will appear first: under the sink, bathtub, manifold, boiler, water heater, filters, and household appliances. The exact location depends on the floor slope and furniture.
02Is one sensor per bathroom enough?
Not always. One sensor may not detect water behind a bath screen or in a collector niche. The quantity is determined by isolated spreading zones, not by the room area.
03Which is better — wired or wireless sensors?
During repair, it is more convenient to lay the wire in advance. In a finished interior, wireless sensors often allow avoiding wall chasing, but they require monitoring of connectivity and batteries. The choice is made based on availability and zone criticality.
04Can the system incorrectly report a leak?
Activation may occur due to cleaning or accidentally spilled water. This is not a reason to disable protection: we adjust the installation location, set a clear notification, and, where appropriate, use confirmation with multiple conditions.
05How often do I check the sensors?
The frequency depends on the model and conditions. The practical regulation includes contact testing, checking notifications, communication and charge, and if a valve is present — a full cycle of closing and opening.
06Can I supply the system after repair?
Yes. For the finished room, we select wireless sensors, available power lines and neat placement of equipment. Before work, we show which elements will remain visible.
