Leak detection for hotels and hospitality
Stop a leak before it takes a floor out of service.
Moisture, flow and freeze monitoring with automatic shut-off across guest floors, roofs, plant rooms and back of house. AQUAIOT catches the overnight leak in a bathroom stack before it drops through three floors of sold rooms.
Live monitoring. Automatic shut-off.

Every closed room is lost revenue.Water damage does not just cost the repair. Each room taken offline during a busy period is a booking you cannot sell and a guest you have to move or refund.
Overnight leaks run unheard for hours.A leak that starts at 2am in an empty bathroom has hours to soak through ceilings before housekeeping or the night manager ever notices.
A leak cascades through the floors below.Water from one guest bathroom tracks down riser stacks and through ceilings, turning a single fault into damage across several floors of rooms.
Multi-property brands lack one clear view.Group operators run dozens of sites with different ages and layouts, and head office has no consistent picture of water risk across the portfolio.
The AQUAIOT SolutionRequest a Consultation
Leak detection that protects revenue and the guest experience
In a hotel, water damage is measured in rooms you cannot sell. A single bathroom leak overnight can cascade through the floors below and close a wing during peak occupancy. AQUAIOT senses moisture in guest bathrooms, riser stacks and back-of-house plant, watches flow for the leak nobody is awake to hear, and isolates the supply automatically before it reaches the rooms underneath.
Watch the stacks guests cannot hear leaking. Moisture sensors in guest bathrooms, behind vanity units and in riser cupboards, with flow analytics on floor supplies to catch overnight leaks fast.
Isolate before the rooms below are hit. Auto-isolation valves cut the supply on a floor or stack the moment a threshold is crossed, so a leak does not cascade through saleable rooms beneath.
Standardise monitoring across a brand. Role-based dashboards give a group estates team one view across every property, with each alert routed to the on-duty engineer at the right site.

How It Works
Three steps from first drop to evidence
Step 01
Detect
AQUAIOT moisture, flow and freeze sensors are deployed at the points water escapes. Every reading is timestamped and logged to the cloud over secure cellular or LoRaWAN telemetry.
Step 02
Alert and isolate
When moisture is sensed or flow goes abnormal, AQUAIOT raises an immediate alert by SMS, email and app, and closes the auto-isolation valve so water is stopped before damage spreads.
Step 03
Record
Every reading, alert and isolation event is captured in exportable, timestamped logs that integrate with CAFM and BMS, so evidence for insurers is ready on demand.
Capabilities
Everything a leak detection programme needs
Purpose-built for estates, facilities and risk teams protecting buildings against escape of water across single or multiple sites.
Moisture sensing at the risk points
Point, rope and tray sensors detect water at first contact under appliances, in plant rooms, risers and tank rooms, before it spreads.
Inline flow analytics
Continuous flow monitoring on the incoming main learns normal use and flags the slow weep or continuous draw a manual check never sees.
Freeze protection
Temperature monitoring on exposed and loft pipework warns before a freeze leads to a burst, so action can be taken in time.
Automatic shut-off
Auto-isolation valves close the supply the moment a moisture or abnormal-flow threshold is crossed, with manual remote override for the duty holder.
Multi-channel alerts with escalation
SMS, email and app alerts with role-based routing, so the right person responds day or night, on a single site or across a portfolio.
Open integration, no lock-in
Connects to BMS, CAFM and SCADA via RS485/Modbus or REST API, with audit-ready exportable records for insurers and owners.

Questions & Answers
Common questions
Where are leak sensors placed in a hotel?
Moisture sensors sit in guest bathrooms, behind vanity units and in riser cupboards, with point sensors in plant rooms and roof-level tank areas. Flow analytics watch floor and incoming supplies for overnight leaks.
Can AQUAIOT shut the water off before a leak spreads?
Yes. Auto-isolation valves close the supply on the affected floor or stack the moment a moisture or abnormal-flow threshold is crossed, before water cascades into the rooms below, with an immediate alert to the duty engineer.
Will installation disturb guests or close rooms?
No. Sensors and clamp-on flow monitoring are non-invasive and retrofit-friendly, so there is no pipe cutting and minimal time in any guest room.
Can a group see every property in one place?
Yes. Role-based dashboards give a head-office estates team a single view across the whole portfolio, while each alert still routes to the on-duty engineer at the specific hotel.
How does this help with insurance and the guest experience?
The average burst-pipe claim reached around 7,500 pounds in 2024, and active monitoring with automatic shut-off is evidence of proactive risk management. Catching leaks early also keeps rooms saleable and guests undisturbed.
