Imagine walking into your office on Monday morning only to find soaked carpets, ruined electronics, and a pipe that burst over the weekend. Now, imagine the cost – not just the repairs but the lost revenue, downtime, and the headache of dealing with insurance claims. Water damage isn’t just a nuisance. It’s an unseen threat that costs businesses billions every year. The worst part? 80% of leaks go undetected until it’s too late.
What’s the solution? Smart leak detection sensors that do the work for you – spot leaks, shut off water automatically, and send real-time alerts to your phone or building management system. At ROOMSYS, we specialize in advanced water leak detection technology that protects commercial properties, industrial facilities, and smart homes from catastrophic water damage. Let’s break down our top leak detection sensors and how they can save your business thousands of dollars (and a ton of stress).
Cora™ CS1010 Leak Sensor – precision and early detection
How long would it take someone to notice if a leak starts in an empty office, storage room, or server closet? Hours? Days? Weeks? By the time you realize it, the damage is already done. The Cora™ CS1010 Leak Sensor is your 24/7 water damage watchdog, designed to catch leaks before they turn into disasters.
- It uses LoRaWAN connectivity. Unlike Wi-Fi-based sensors, it works across long distances with low power consumption, making it perfect for large offices and industrial spaces.
- Dual probes for precision detection – spots leaks from multiple sources at once.
- Temperature monitoring – because frozen pipes are just as dangerous as leaks.
Best for: Businesses with multiple floors, warehouses, or remote monitoring needs that require early detection before water spreads.
TEKTELIC COMFORT Sensors – reliable leak detection for hard-to-reach areas
Water leaks can go unnoticed for hours or even days and cause costly damage before anyone realizes there’s a problem. The TEKTELIC COMFORT Sensors provide 24/7 monitoring – they ensure leaks are detected the moment they happen.
- 6ft rope sensor detects water along its entire length – perfect for covering large areas.
- LoRaWAN-enabled for long-range, low-power connectivity without relying on Wi-Fi.
- Compact and discreet, fitting into tight spaces like HVAC closets, under appliances, and behind laundry machines.
- Instant alerts notify you as soon as water is detected, preventing damage before it spreads.
Ideal for offices, commercial buildings, and residential properties – because a few drops today can mean thousands in damage tomorrow.
Different types of leak detection sensors: which one does your business need?
Not all leaks are the same. Not all detection systems work the same way. Let's consider how to choose the best fit for your needs. Here’s a breakdown of water leak detection equipment into the three main types:
- Direct contact sensors are best for targeted, high-risk areas like under sinks, around HVAC units, and near water heaters. They trigger alerts when water physically touches them.
- Leak detection cables – ideal for large areas, such as server rooms and warehouses. These cables detect moisture along their entire length.
- Flow-based shutoff systems monitor water pressure and usage patterns. If something seems off, the water is automatically shut off. This is perfect for whole-building protection.
If you run a business, hotel, data center, or industrial facility, the best protection is to use a combination of all three types.
Installation mistakes that could cost you thousands
Last but not least, it is highly important to keep in mind that even the best sensors won’t work if they aren’t installed correctly. So, where can businesses go wrong installing sensors? Let's take a closer look.
- Placing sensors too high. Leak detection sensors must be positioned where water naturally pools. If it’s too high, it won’t detect a leak until it’s too late.
- Not integrating with your security or BMS system. Real-time alerts are only helpful if someone gets them. Ensure your system is connected to your existing automation network.
- Skipping regular testing. A sensor that doesn’t work when you need it is as good as no sensor at all. Check your system quarterly to ensure all devices are operational.
Conclusion
Choosing the right leak detection sensor isn’t just about picking the most expensive one. It’s about matching the solution to your risk level.
