Smart Water Leak Detection
Hidden leaks don't
announce themselves.
Moisture strips, rope sensors, inline flow analytics, and automatic shut-off — deployed as a connected system across your entire estate. Detect damage at the first drop. Not after the call-out.

The Problem
Escape of water is the UK's most expensive property claim.
It's not a rare catastrophe. It's the leading reason landlords, housing providers, and estates teams make an insurance claim — and the vast majority of incidents unfold silently, overnight, with no one watching.

— a slow loss no manual round would detect until it becomes visible structural damage

Most of this is entirely preventable with the right sensing in place. The challenge is that by the time someone notices — a damp patch, a stained ceiling, a spike on the water bill — the damage is already done. AQUAIOT monitors continuously so you don't have to wait to find out.
How AQUAIOT Detects Leaks
Four detection methods. One connected system.
Rather than a single sensor type, AQUAIOT deploys the right combination of moisture sensing, flow analytics, and temperature monitoring for each site — giving you complete coverage without unnecessary complexity.
Moisture Strips, Rope & Tray Sensors
Deployed at known risk points — plant rooms, under-floor voids, ceiling spaces, tray installations. Moisture is detected at contact, before surface damage appears and before visible dampness develops.
Contact detection · immediate threshold alertInline Flow Analytics
Night-line flow profiling surfaces consumption that should be zero — identifying concealed micro-leaks through flow pattern deviation before any visible sign appears. Non-invasive. No pipe cutting required.
Micro-leak identification · retrofit-friendlyFreeze Protection
Continuous pipe and ambient temperature monitoring flags freeze-risk conditions before a pipe bursts. Automatic alerts route to duty teams — giving time to act rather than react after the event.
Pipe & ambient temp · early-warning routingEscalation & Role-Based Routing
Alerts route to the right person — duty engineer, facilities manager, on-call supervisor — with escalation rules to prevent fatigue. Full audit trail of every event, response, and resolution.
SMS · email · app · audit trailAutomatic Shut-off — Water Stopped Before Damage Spreads
In high-risk zones, AQUAIOT connects directly to isolation valves. The moment a moisture threshold is breached, the water supply is cut automatically — no human in the loop, no delay, no escalating damage bill. This is the same capability that UK insurers increasingly recognise as a meaningful risk-reduction measure when assessing premiums.

Connected Sensor Range
Discuss your site
The right sensor for every risk point.
AQUAIOT's leak detection layer is built around deploying the right sensor type at the right location — not forcing a single device into every use case. Moisture strips, rope sensors, tray sensors, and inline flow analytics all report back into a single connected platform.
Moisture strips
Flat-profile sensors for floor voids, under-appliances, and raised flooring where contact detection is needed.
Rope sensors
Flexible detection cable ideal for plant rooms, perimeter containment, and large-area coverage where a point sensor isn't sufficient.
Tray and plant sensors
Designed for equipment trays, boiler rooms, and plant installations where standing water indicates a supply or drain failure.
Inline flow analytics
Non-invasive micro-leak identification via flow pattern deviation — no pipe cutting, retrofittable to live pipework.
Insurance & Risk
Your insurer is paying attention. You should be too.
UK insurers — including Aviva, AXA, RSA, and Zurich — increasingly recognise active leak monitoring as a material risk-reduction measure. Properties with connected monitoring and automatic shut-off are viewed differently at renewal. AQUAIOT generates the exportable reports your broker needs to make that case.
Exportable audit reports
Every event, alert, and resolution is recorded — exportable for insurers, auditors, and asset managers at renewal or following an incident.
Automatic shut-off = reduced exposure
Systems with active shut-off capability are recognised by insurers as materially reducing the maximum possible claim — stopping damage before it spreads.
Demonstrates proactive management
Documented monitoring activity evidences a duty-of-care standard that matters in the event of a claim — and increasingly at underwriting stage.
