Early Water Leak Detection for Office Buildings
Detect leaks before they cause significant damage - even when offices are vacant.
Discover the gold standard water leak detection solution for offices
Water leaks in offices cause substantial financial losses. The cost of water extraction, cleanup, and repair or renovation for just the smaller leaks that you don’t claim on insurance, can easily add up to mid 5-figure sums for a single building over the course of a year.
And the continued prevalence of flexible working creates additional risk for owners and operators: according to Chubb, vacancy-related water emergencies account for about 8% of commercial water damage losses overall.
Severn WLD™ is a smart water leak detection system that automatically detects and locates water leaks - before they’ve had a chance to cause expensive damage, even when an office is vacant.
Protect your bottom line. Automatically detect water leaks early, before they cause significant damage.

FAQs about water leak detection in offices
How does LAIIER's leak detection technology work in office environments?
LAIIER's water leak sensors are strategically placed in areas prone to water damage in office buildings - for example, under water risers, in elevator pits, or near HVAC systems. They detect the presence of water and send real-time leak alerts directly to facilities managers vis SMA and/ or email.
Our water leak sensors have no audible alarms, so tenants aren't disturbed when a leak is detected.
What areas of an office building will benefit most from water leak detection?
High-risk areas for water leaks in offices include restrooms, kitchenettes, HVAC systems, underfloor piping, water risers, and mechanical rooms. LAIIER's wate leak sensors can be installed in all these locations, with custom leak alert settings to accommodate the different use cases in each area.
Can your water leak sensors integrate with our existing building management system (BMS)?
Many of our customers find that the LAIIER Cloud dashboard is enough, but we are happy to discuss integrating with BMS or other systems as required.
How are alerts delivered if a leak is detected?
Water leak alerts are sent via email and/ or SMS to whomever you specify.
Is installation disruptive to office operations?
Not at all. LAIIER’s sensors are quick and easy to install, don't require specialist tools or training, and can be deployed with minimal disruption to tenants.
They adhere to surfaces and begin monitoring immediately once they're online, making them ideal for both new builds and retrofits.
What types of water leaks can the sensors detect?
Our sensors detect both slow leaks and sudden water exposure. Whether it’s a dripping pipe, a leaking faucet, or a full-on burst, the system identifies water presence quickly and reliably to help mitigate damage.
How do you handle maintenance and long-term reliability?
How do you handle maintenance and long-term reliability?>LAIIER's sensors are designed for long operational life: the battery has a 6-year lifespan, and the devices don't require any regular maintenance.
Can I monitor water leaks in multiple office locations from a central dashboard?
Yes you can. Our solution supports centralized monitoring across multiple properties or office floors, allowing facilities managers to oversee all locations from one platform, which is ideal for enterprise-level applications.
