Leak detection in the UK: stop water damage before it starts
Every day, the UK treats just under 16 billion litres of drinking water—yet around a fifth is still lost through leaks across ageing networks and buildings. That’s a needless hit to bills, carbon and resilience, and it’s exactly why leak detection has moved from “nice-to-have” to “non-negotiable”. Water UKOfwat
At AQUAIOT, we deliver smart leak detection that finds and flags problems early, triggers real-time alerts and can shut off the supply automatically—before costly damage spreads. Our solution is built for commercial estates, housing providers, public sector, and critical facilities that need dependable, UK-ready technology and support.

Why leak detection matters (far more than you think)
Hidden leaks waste shocking amounts of water. A single leaky loo can waste up to 400 L/day—more than many families use in a day. Multiply that across a portfolio and the volumes (and bills) mount fast. Water UK
Claims are rising. “Escape of water” is consistently among the top home and property insurance claims, with average burst-pipe losses running into tens of thousands of pounds; some recent analyses show averages above £17,000. ABI
Regulators want action. The industry is working toward a 50% reduction in leakage by 2050, and business plans through PR24/AMP8 expect evidence of proactive control. Your buildings and networks need the telemetry to prove it. GOV.UK
The AQUAIOT leak detection stack (what you actually get)
Multi-sensor coverage: spot moisture where it starts (plant rooms, risers, comms rooms, kitchens, WCs), monitor flow anomalies for continuous trickles, and add freeze protection (pipe/ambient temperature) where needed.
Smart alerts & automations: instant SMS/email/app notifications, role-based routing to duty teams, auto-isolation valves for high-risk zones, and escalation rules to avoid alert fatigue.
Secure telemetry & cloud dashboard: LoRaWAN/cellular connectivity, encrypted data flows, live maps, trending, and exportable reports for audit and insurers.
Open integrations: REST APIs, RS485/Modbus options and easy links to BMS/CAFM so your teams see everything in one place.
UK deployment & support: standardised install packs, RAMS/CDM documentation, and SLA-backed maintenance—scale from pilot to portfolio with ease.

Where leak detection pays back fastest
Commercial offices & campuses: protect high-value fit-outs and IT rooms; reduce downtime and insurance excesses.
Residential blocks & PBSA: stop vertical stack leaks and tank failures; reduce redec costs and tenant disruption.
Healthcare & care homes: keep critical rooms operational; log evidence for estates governance.
Public sector & education: defend budgets, reduce “man-in-a-van” call-outs with remote triage.
Hospitality & retail: prevent after-hours losses; integrate with duty rotas for rapid response.
Industrial & data centres: manage process water and cooling loops; trigger automatic shut-off on thresholds.
How our leak detection works
Real-world impact, backed by the data
The UK water sector has cut leakage by ~41% since 1989, but there’s still a long way to go—and buildings play a major role in that journey. Pairing building-side leak detection with network efforts is how we collectively protect supply, bills and the environment. Ofwat
