Environmental Monitoring

Catch water damage and temperature problems early

Water damage is one of the most expensive problems a business can face. Environmental sensors detect leaks, temperature extremes, and freeze conditions before they become disasters—alerting you in time to take action.

Water leak detection

Water leak detection

Detect leaks before they become floods. Sensors alert you immediately when moisture is detected in high-risk areas.

Temperature monitoring

Temperature monitoring

Protect inventory, equipment, and compliance with continuous temperature monitoring and instant alerts when levels drift.

Freeze protection

Freeze protection

Get alerts when temperatures drop to dangerous levels, giving you time to prevent frozen pipes and costly damage.

Protection against costly damage

Water leak detection

Sensors placed near water heaters, pipes, HVAC units, and drains detect moisture before minor leaks become major floods.

Temperature monitoring

Get alerts when temperatures drift outside safe ranges. Critical for server rooms, restaurants, pharmacies, and any space with temperature-sensitive inventory.

Freeze protection

Know immediately when temperatures drop to dangerous levels. Prevent frozen pipes and protect inventory in unheated spaces.

Where to deploy environmental sensors

Restaurants & food service

  • Walk-in coolers and freezers
  • Under dishwashers and ice machines
  • Near floor drains and grease traps
  • Food prep and storage areas

Offices & professional spaces

  • Server rooms and data closets
  • Under bathroom and kitchen sinks
  • Near water heaters and HVAC units
  • Mechanical rooms

Retail & warehouses

  • Near sprinkler system connections
  • Roof drain access points
  • Loading dock areas

Property management

  • Vacant units (freeze protection)
  • Common area mechanical rooms

  • Basement and utility spaces

The cost of water damage

The average commercial water damage claim exceeds $17,000, and that doesn't include business interruption, lost inventory, or reputation damage. A simple water sensor can pay for itself many times over by catching problems early.
