Early Water Leak Detection for Retail
Detect water leaks before they impact customer safety and experience - and your bottom line.
Discover the leading predictive water leak detection solution for retail owner operators: Severn WLD™
Water leaks in retail environments are expensive and disruptive. The average cost of water damage in commercial spaces is about US$24,000 per event, but claims have risen as high as US$5M for a single event in premium spaces. And even relatively minor leaks that are too small to trigger an insurance claim can still lead to five-figure losses when you factor in stock damage, repairs, staff time, and lost sales.
Retail spaces are operationally complex, often with a combination of refrigeration, HVAC systems, and high foot traffic; meaning that water leaks often go unnoticed until significant and visible damage is done. And with limited staff capacity to monitor back-of-house areas, or perform manual checks out of trading hours, the risk only increases.
Severn WLD™ is a smart water leak detection system that automatically detects and locates water leaks - before they have a chance to damage inventory, interrupt service, or threaten safety.
Protect your operations and your margins. Detect water leaks early, before they cause expensive damage and downtime for in your spaces.
Automatically detect leaks, before they're visible
Monitor for and automatically detect water leaks when they’re small and inexpensive to fix - even when they're in concealed or inaccessible locations.
Minimize downtime & operational disruption
Even a small leak can force a store closure or limit service areas. Detect water leaks early, minimize damage and repairs, and keep stores open and operating.
Monitor properties remotely, in real time
Get an accurate, centralized view of where and when leaks occur in real time, within properties and across your portfolio. Reduce reliance on manual inspections and speed up response times.
Eliminate false positives with custom sensitivity
Use the adjustable sensitivity to set different leak alert thresholds for different use cases, on a device-by-device basis. Reliably detect water leaks even in wet areas, without frequent false positive alarms.
Streamline maintenance operations
Minimize resource-intensive manual water leak inspections, especially across large footprints. Refocus facilities resources from water leak detection to preventive and customer-facing maintenance.
Protect safety & the guest experience
Water leaks can create safety hazards, especially in high-footfall areas. Early detection both protects customers and staff, and preserves a positive retail experience and reputation, and ensures tenant satisfaction.
Make informed, data-driven decisions
Leverage data on water leak frequency, location, and timing to optimize performance in areas like maintenance strategies, supplier choices, and fixture specifications.
Retrofit a discreet, robust solution – even in tight spaces
Fit sensors discreetly into challenging locations, including tight areas. Install quickly and non-invasively, without requiring specialist tools or expertise.
Enhance sustainability performance
Significantly reduce water loss derived from detected leaks, and carbon consumption from cleanup and repairs.
