Aqualeak – Protecting all types of residential property against the risk of costly and disruptive water damage, while minimising inconvenience and emotional distress for homeowners, landlords and tenants.
Aqualeak offers residential water leak detection systems that quickly and effectively identify when a leak occurs as a result of burst or faulty pipework, across all types of domestic property.
Our home water leak detection systems are flow monitor devices that can be easily retrofitted in occupied properties with minimal disruption. Systems operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, giving you complete peace of mind that your property is being protected at all times, regardless of whether it is occupied or unoccupied.
Using volume and time thresholds, our devices detect unusual or unexpected flow of water and will trigger an automatic shut-off valve, reducing the amount of water that escapes from the pipe and the level of damage caused by water leaks.
Typically one per property, or see our systems for residential multi-apartment blocks here.
Our residential water leak detectors range from entry-level solutions that offer simplicity alongside excellent functionality, through to intelligent, connected devices that use a property’s typical water usage to learn suitable leak detection thresholds. Users can also have control and oversight of their residential leak detection system from anywhere in the world, including alert notifications and remote valve control via a web-based portal. Our connected system can now also be integrated with wireless sensor pads to detect small pinprick drips.
Our flow monitoring devices are approved and recommended by many of the world’s largest insurance companies and meet the escape of water requirements of their policies.
Our most suitable systems for this application are outlined below:
A market-leading inline home water leak detection and prevention device
Specifically designed for installation in new build or retrofit residential applications
Monitors the volume and duration of water passing through a pipe, against pre-set thresholds to identify excessive and unexpected flow
If thresholds are exceeded, a solenoid valve will automatically close and shut off the water supply
This home water leak detector is installed on the cold-water pipe, just after the stopcock
Operates using a roving handset, which can be battery or mains-powered
Allows for flexibility around different users’ varying water usage and can be manually over-ridden when necessary
Can also automatically shut off the water after a pre-set period of time if no flow is detected
As well as the financial cost, there is also the emotional impact. Unwanted water intrusion in home settings can prove highly disruptive and may mean you have to move out of your property while drying and restoration takes place. Leaks can also cause the loss of irreplaceable or sentimental items that can be distressing.
Flow-based, water leak detection residential or otherwise, like those above, work by monitoring variations in the movement of water through pipes using a sensor installed on your col water pipe, just after the stopcock. When abnormal flow is detected, a valve will automatically close, shutting off the water and minimising the extent of the damage to your property. Our devices can also make you aware of a problem in other ways, such as an audio alarm. Text messages and/or emails can also be sent to a smartphone, tablet or PC and, with a smart water leak detection device, you can also remotely control a valve from anywhere. These functions can be made available to more than one person too, making it easy for homeowners, landlords and property managers alike to act quickly to resolve a problem when a leak is detected.
