Gutter sensor for roof gutters and downpipes

A solar-powered wireless sensor that sits on the roof gutter and records four variables at once. From rainfall and moisture, the system detects a developing blockage before standing water puts the building fabric at risk.

Why the gutter sensor

The gutter reports before the water backs up

A roof gutter clogs up over weeks. It is usually noticed only when water runs down the facade or seeps into the structure.

Four variables in one sensor

Standing water, rainfall amount, the moisture status of the gutter and temperature are recorded at the same time.

Fits any gutter

The mounting is universal. The sensor can be fitted to all types of roof gutter without modifying the gutter itself.

Solar-powered

The power supply runs autonomously on solar energy. There is no battery change on the roof.

Adjustable solar panel

The solar panel can be rotated through 360° and so aligned to the sun on any gutter.

Wireless to the platform

The readings are sent via Narrowband IoT to the cloud-based Infrasolute data platform, which can be accessed remotely at any time.

Alerts instead of inspection rounds

If defined thresholds are exceeded or a blockage is detected, the system reports it immediately.

Infrasolute gutter sensor mounted on a roof gutter

Operating principle

From the gutter to the alert

If rain falls but the expected pattern does not appear in the gutter, that points to a blockage. The system reports it before standing water becomes a hazard.

01

Fit the sensor

The sensor is mounted on the roof gutter with the universal bracket. No work on the gutter itself is needed.
02

Measure autonomously

Power comes from solar energy. The sensor records water level, rainfall, moisture and temperature during normal operation.
03

Transmit wirelessly

The values are sent to the data platform via Narrowband IoT. Access is possible at any time and from anywhere.
04

Report automatically

From the interplay of rainfall and moisture, the system detects a blockage and raises an alarm when thresholds are exceeded.

In use

The video shows installation and set-up: the bracket on the gutter edge, the adjustable solar panel and the measurement directly in the gutter.

Applications

Where the gutter sensor is used

Gutters that can only be reached with a lift or scaffold

Roofs beneath trees

Estates with many similar buildings

Facades with a history of damp

Sites with recurring frost in the gutter

Everything from a single source

From the monitoring concept to operation

The gutter sensor is one building block of a well-designed monitoring system. On request, Infrasolute takes on concept, installation, operation and ongoing monitoring as a complete solution.

Frequently asked questions about the gutter sensor

What exactly does the gutter sensor measure?

Four variables at once: standing water in the gutter and downpipes, the amount of rainfall and its effect on drainage, the moisture status of the gutter for early detection of blockages, and the temperature to prevent frost damage.

How does the system detect a blockage?

From the combination of rainfall measurement and moisture monitoring. If rain falls but the expected pattern does not appear in the gutter, that is the indication. The system reports it before standing water becomes a threat to the building fabric.

Does the sensor fit every roof gutter?

The mounting is universal and can be fitted to all types of roof gutter. The solar panel rotates through 360° and can therefore be aligned to the sun on any gutter.

Does the battery need to be changed?

No. The gutter sensor works independently on solar power. On a roof in particular this is the decisive point, because every battery change there means access with a ladder, scaffold or lift.

How do I access the readings?

Via the cloud-based Infrasolute data platform, at any time and from anywhere. In addition, the system automatically sends a notification when the stored thresholds are exceeded or a blockage is detected.
