Water leak sensor for leak detection at individual points
The water leak sensor sits exactly where water arrives first: on the screed, next to the boiler, in the plant room. It reports water via the gateway by SMS and email, and every alert is assigned to a specific point.
- Every alert assigned to a point
- Can be mounted flush with the floor
- Alerts by SMS and email
Why the water leak sensor
A measuring point exactly where it matters
Where the points of risk are known, one measuring point per spot is enough. The water leak sensor reports water where it arrives first and tells you straight away where.
Every alert has a location
Each sensor is assigned to a point on the platform. When an alert comes in, it is clear in which room and at which spot the water is.
Informs and alerts
Besides water contact, the sensor also measures moisture up to 6.5 % by mass. A rise becomes visible before water is standing, and the alert comes when it is there.
Also flush with the floor
The installation height can be reduced so that the sensor is mounted flush with the floor. Probe length and depth are adapted to the location.
Reports automatically
When a threshold is exceeded, the system sends SMS and email, around the clock, even when nobody is in the building.
Several rooms, one gateway
One gateway takes up to 4 or up to 20 sensors. Alternatively, each room gets its own gateway, which saves cable runs.
History in the browser
Status, moisture history and alert history of every sensor are available on the platform, without a trip to the basement.
Operating principle
From water on the screed to an alert on your phone
The sensor sits close to the floor at the point where water arrives first. It is connected by cable to the gateway, which transmits the readings to the platform every 15 minutes.
- 01
Detection
Water between the probes lowers the electrical resistance. At the same time, the sensor records the moisture at its location.
- 02
Transmission
The gateway reads the sensors every 15 minutes and transmits the values to the platform via mobile network or Wi-Fi.
- 03
Alerting
If a value exceeds the threshold, SMS and email go to the stored recipients, naming the affected point.

Water leak sensor or leak detection cable
Point or run: what suits your building
Both products detect water on the same principle and report via the same platform. The difference is whether individual points or entire runs are monitored.
Individual measuring points
Water leak sensor
- For known, individual points of risk
- Every alert is assigned to a point
- Also measures moisture up to 6.5 % by mass
- Can also be mounted flush with the floor
Runs and areas
Leak detection cable
- Sensitive along its entire length, usually up to 40 m
- Rolled out on the floor, in the screed or in insulation
- For areas where water could escape anywhere
- After an alarm, a measurement on the cable narrows down the area
Applications
Where the water leak sensor sits
Everything from a single source
From the monitoring concept to operation
The water leak sensor is one building block of well-designed monitoring. On request, Infrasolute takes care of concept, installation, operation and ongoing monitoring as a complete solution, a single point of contact for the whole monitoring.
- 01
Concept
Using your floor plans, we determine where the sensors sit and where the gateway is mounted.

House on Lake Constance
Water leak sensors in several rooms report when water rises from below through the floor slab and reaches the screed.

Which points do you want to protect?
Send us floor plans or photos of the rooms. We will suggest where the sensors should sit, how many gateways are needed and whether the leak detection cable fits better in some places.
