Protect your property with
smart water leak detection devices

Advanced water leak detection and automatic shut-off for multifamily buildings

sfty smart water leak detection devices include a combined water leak and freeze detector typically installed in bathrooms, near boilers and under sink units, in kitchens and a water shut-off valve that can automatically stop water flow, helping prevent extensive damage downstream from where it is installed. The devices can be controlled with the resident App and the sfty Control dashboard. In the event of a water leak or freezing risk is detected both resident and building management is informed and can work together to protect the building.

Prevent

Did you know water leaks are the most common building insurance claim for multifamily buildings?

Water leaks are the most common issue in shared building insurance claims in the UK*. Early detection in multifamily buildings can help minimise damage, reduce repair costs, and protect residents and property managers from disruptive incidents. (*Source PCLA)

Water leak (.1)

Large scale water leak monitoring, simplified

Our water leak detector identifies leaks or freezing conditions and sends real-time reports via the resident sfty App and building management sfty Control dashboard. Paired with a professionally installed shut off valve, water flow can be stopped in the event of a leak to help reduce further damage, offering a complete water leak mitigation solution. The alerts and automatic shut-off contribute to peace of mind and can reduce any potential repair costs.

What are the key benefits of using sfty water leak detection devices?

Early leak detection

sfty connected leak detectors alert building managers and residents when a leak is detected. This early warning can help limit the extent of damage to a property.

Remote monitoring and control

Building managers and residents can monitor their property for leaks remotely. Gain peace of mind, especially during freezing temperatures or when no one is home.

Discreet devices

Our battery-operated discreet water leak detection devices are compact and ideal for placing in hard-to-reach or hidden areas like under sinks, behind appliances, or near water heaters without the need for wiring.

"Thanks for phoning me a short time ago. It was extremely gratifying to know that our managing agent was informed of the leak, as well as the very loud alarm that sounded here in the house. I would not have seen the leak had the alarm not sounded and though it seems modest at the moment it could have gone on for days getting increasingly worse without me knowing. I’m impressed."

From our first hello to final installation, we are with you every step of the way

Get in touch

Send us an e-mail or call us. We can arrange a date and time to discuss your project in more detail.

Site inspection

After a scoping call, we usually arrange a no obligation on-site inspection. We’ll review your existing systems, infrastructure and pain points, and get to know the building and your needs.

Proposal

After the site inspection we will prepare a detailed proposal and pricing. We can present this in person to a wider management team or your residents if required.

Installation

Our discrete, wireless devices are quick to install. Depending on the required number of devices, local facilities and local regulations, typical installations take no longer than 15-20 mins per apartment.

Requirements

The sfty platform is designed to primarily use the building's or residents' personal 2.4 GHz WiFi access points and internet connection to report device status and relevant alerts. Continuous access to such WiFi access points and internet connection must be given in order for the sfty platform to work as intended. The sfty Sense (smoke detection) devices (but not the water leak devices or water shut off valves) create a mesh network between them to add network resilience but several connections to the internet are required in order for the system to work as intended. A separate internet-backhaul connection can be provided but is invoiced separately. 

Receipt of alarms and alerts is dependent on third party network communications infrastructure and user preferences, amongst other things. Certain sfty features, such as sending SMS, are invoiced based on usage. 

Sfty collaborates with third party alarm monitoring stations to receive and action smoke alarms. These services are subject to a separate contract between the building manager and the alarm monitoring station.

Sfty collaborates with third parties where the installation of smoke detectors or electrical equipment is specifically regulated by local law. Sfty does not draw up or sign off on building fire safety plans or any changes to them.

No system guarantees the prevention or detection of all fires or water leaks or associated damage and losses. Building safety is complex, encompassing factors like compliance with building, water and fire regulations as well as proper configuration and maintenance of all alarm and detection devices. The sfty platform is only one such component and its effectiveness depends on its proper configuration, suitable placement of sfty-compatible devices, appropriate coverage of the building with sfty-compatible devices, regular maintenance (including batteries, mains connections and plumbing of the shut-off valve, if installed), reliability of internet connectivity and adherence to sfty's instructions and operating manuals. All connected features of the sfty Sense, water leak detection device and water shut off valves can terminate if your contract with sfty for the sfty platform terminates.

Other technical and compatibility requirements as well as sfty's standard terms and conditions apply.
