10 Advantages
of Alert Labs’ Water Leak Detection Systems
Why cellular-connected water sensors and the AlertAQ™ water intelligence platform outperform other consumer and commercial water management solutions
1. Over $80,000,000 saved
To date, customers have saved over $80,000,000, more than 7,500,000,000 gallons of water and 167,000,000 pounds of CO2e.
2. AI-powered water use insights
Developed in collaboration with property managers and industry experts, the AlertAQ™ water intelligence platform uses self-learning algorithms. It analyzes water flow at a building to identify wasted water. AlertAQ™ delivers real value in the form of reduced water bills, less water waste and decreased carbon emissions.
3. Scalable leak detection technology
Building teams can install Alert Labs water sensors at a 250,000 square foot building in as little as 1 day. Our corporate customers have installed our solutions at hundreds of buildings in as little as two months. With API integration and a consolidated approach to water metrics, the AlertAQ™ platform is the single pane of glass for water management at all buildings in your portfolio.
4. Secure and reliable network
Alert Labs sensors use a standalone, cellular signal rather than a building’s WiFi or wired network. Industry experts determine cellular network security protocols. And cellular connections keep working when a building loses power. WiFi networks rely on the people onsite to manage network access and can go offline due to power outages.
5. Easy-to-install water sensors
Alert Labs water detector technologies are among the easiest to install in the B2B water management systems sector. Most Alert Labs water sensors take less than one minute to install without tools. No WiFi or wireless network infrastructure required.
6. Customizable water leak detection system
Choose among the team of water sensors to create a water leak detection system that meets the requirements of each building. Solutions are available for water damage prevention, water bill reduction, sustainability tracking, automatic water shut-off, and temperature and humidity monitoring.
7. Installed at over 12,000 buildings
Over 12,000 buildings benefit from Alert Labs leak detection solutions. Building types include commercial buildings, construction sites, office towers, hotels, elementary and high schools, universities, retail bank branches, research facilities, community centers, multi-family housing, not-for-profit housing, and athletic facilities. In short, almost all commercial buildings with running water can benefit.
8. Built in North America
Alert Labs proudly manufactures its water sensors and designs the AlertAQ™ platform in North America. Local manufacturing means supply chain stability and quick fulfillment even for large orders.
9. Backed by a Fortune 500 company
Watsco Inc. (WSO), the largest HVACR distributor in North America, is the parent company of Alert Labs providing strong financial backing and ensuring the longevity of water solutions.
10. Award-winning technology
Alert Labs has won the following awards: BGIS Global Innovation Supplier Awards (Finalist), Deloitte's Fast 50 Clean Technology, The FacilitiesNet Vision Award, the Maintenance Innovation Award and the IBC Insurance 5-Star Insurance Tech Award
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Learn more about water leak detection systems.
What is a water leak detection system?
A water leak detection system includes: smart water sensors and a software platform. Together, they help businesses prevent water damage, lower water costs and improve water sustainability.
How does the water leak detection system prevent water damage?
Two types of leaks cause water damage: the leaks you can see and the ones you cannot. A commercial water detection system detects both of these types of leaks.
To prevent damage from physical leaks, building teams place water leak detectors strategically throughout the building. For flow-based leaks, water flow monitoring technology that uses AI-powered water leak detection identifies abnormal water use. When the system detects a leak, building teams receive an automatic phone call, text, email or in-app notification.
Early detection combined with reduced time to respond results in minimized water damage. The best water leak detection system includes automatic water shut-off. These sensors can turn off the water when a companion sensor gets wet. Users can also remotely shut off water through the software provided by the water leak detection system.

How does it lower water costs?
An AI-powered water leak detection platform analyzes all water use at each building and identifies water waste that you cannot discover from examining water bills.
Building management teams receive text, email and in-app alerts for water use that deviates from a building's profile. High evaporation rates in a cooling tower or an improperly installed irrigation system are just some of the problems that cause alerts. By receiving these alerts, building teams are able to resolve water problems weeks, months or even years faster than just examining water bills or carrying out onsite inspections. This faster detection leads to lower water costs. An additional benefit is that AlertAQ™ displays minute-by-minute water use data which tells building teams almost immediately whether a fix has actually resolved the problem.

How can smarter water management help lower the carbon footprint of buildings?
Each drop of water contains the energy it takes to extract, treat, distribute, and heat it. Saving water saves energy. A water leak detection system helps businesses lower its environmental impact by identifying problems early. The best systems provide automated water use reports and metrics that allow for portfolio-wide comparisons.
What kind of maintenance do water leak detection systems need?
Systems that offer easy-to-install, wireless setups don't need much upkeep or changes to existing structures. For example, water flow sensors that strap directly onto the building's pre-existing water meters start providing water use data right away. Water leak detectors that take seconds to deploy can monitor any area at risk for water damage.
These sensors only require battery replacement every few years. The software also sends low battery alerts well in advance of the system losing network connection.
