Know When You Have a Water Leak with Water Sensors
As part of the Securitas Technology Smart Home system, you can integrate a water leak sensor and a remote water shut-off valve. The wireless water sensor we use is the Nowa 360, a trustworthy Canadian company, which comes with five slim, corrosion-proof sensor pucks you can place strategically around your house in any room with a water source: bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, etc.
Water damage defense is our business!
A water leak detection system never sleeps.
Whether you’re at home or away, your water shut off valve is working to detect water. At the first sign of water contacting the sensor, the sensor signals the control panel, and the valve is shut off. The whole sequence takes about ten seconds. Much, much faster than you could likely act to detect a leak turn the water off.
Imagine what can happen while you’re away! Water sensors are there to save the day
When used with an optional motion sensor, Securitas Technology's system can shut your water off while you’re out, automatically. When you return, it will turn the water back on as well. No codes to enter, buttons to push or dongles to track.
Power failure? The system with the water leak sensors got you covered. Each system comes with a rechargeable battery pack to allow for detection and shut-off when the power is out.
Cold outside? Did someone leave a window open? The sensors can also be set up to detect temperatures of 5° C. Frozen pipes are a major concern. Get notified before you have a problem!
When detection occurs, you’ll be immediately notified at the control panel or on your iOS or Android smartphone, thanks to the water sensor alarm. A brief SMS Alert and/or emails to multiple parties will outline the reason for notification and, precisely when and where detected. You don’t have to teach the system or the water leak sensor anything. It’s plug-and-play.
The automatic water shut-off valve system is built on a Security platform. That means it’s safe, encrypted, and flexible. It will fit into your site plan and budget. Whether a single-family dwelling, multi-suite residential or industrial operation, new build or existing, we will work to provide 24/7/365 protection against water ruining your property and your day. If you’ve had a recent water damage experience, your insurer may require Securitas Technology's system to be installed to prevent repeat occurrences.
If you don’t want to experience water damage, give Securitas Technology a call! Coming home to a flooded house due to burst pipes is probably the biggest post-vacation-buzz-kill you can imagine, especially given the average $43K price tag for a residential flood.

Insurers are waging battle against water damage claims. The rise in both frequency and cost are unsustainable for everyone. For reasonably close to your deductible amount, you could be in a much better position to deal with better premiums and coverage, lower relative deductible amounts and a wider range of insurers to choose from. Some insurers may even offer premium discounts for the installation of the water leak protection system. Consider that water damage claims of insurers exceed those for fire and theft combined!
Perhaps more importantly, consider that your property may not be habitable in the wake of water damage; replacement housing, the loss of irreplaceable personal items, the upset of just trying to get back to normal. If you work from home, add that to the burden. The worst imaginable is a refusal by your insurer to cover the loss. If you’ve had previous water damage claim(s), this is a distinct possibility.
FAQs
Your water shut-off device will send you a notification to your smartphone to let you know where the leak is coming from, and at the same time, the system will close your water valve.
Yes, our sensors will send you an alert if the temperature in a room drops below five degrees Celsius, and at the same time, close your water inlet valve. This will prevent the potential freezing of a pipe. This is useful for a house you’re not living in during winter or if you’re away.
No, the detectors have sensors which are located 0.4mm from the floor and will not go off if the floor is just wet. There must be water under the sensor for the sensor to send an alert.

Experts in Water Damage Prevention and Water Leak Alarm
The Nowa water leak detection system has three major components: a control panel, discrete wireless sensors and a stainless steel, full-body, actuated valve. Water detected at the sensor will instantly cause the control panel to close the supply valve. The whole process takes only about ten seconds from detection to full closure and notification.
If a leak is detected by the water leak sensor, the valve automatically closes until you correct the situation and re-open it with the app. That's why it's important to have an automatic water shut-off valve because a lot of competing products on the market are not automated.
