Water leaks and Escape of Water (EoW)

Irus keeps buildings safe by monitoring leak detection pads and pipe sensors raising the alarm when escape of water occurs.
There are three levels of action to Leak alerts:

  • Alert only where an SMS and/or email are sent to specified addresses/ numbers.
  • Individual Cylinder Shut-Off Valve where a single tank can be isolated closest to where the issue has arisen.
  • Riser Shut-Off Valve where supply to the entire block is isolated.

LeakDetect sends messages to specified personnel via email and SMS detailing location and severity of the water escape.

  • Kitchen sink leak monitoring.
  • Water cylinder leak detection.
  • Shower pod leak detection.
  • Automatic leak detection alerts

LeakDetect+Optimiser

Water leaks remain one of the most persistent and costly risks facing multi-occupancy residential assets. Beyond the immediate disruption, undetected leaks can materially erode building value, increase insurance exposure and undermine long-term investment performance. As portfolios grow in scale and complexity, proactive leak management is becoming a core component of asset protection strategies.

LeakDetect+Optimiser, presents a comprehensive approach: alert, react, mitigate. Fully integrated with the Irus Portal, the system combines intelligent leak detection, instant notifications and automatic water isolation to prevent minor issues escalating into major incidents.

Using existing Irus infrastructure, LeakDetect identifies moisture or water ingress via discreet sensors or detection tape connected through the central control unit. When abnormal conditions are detected, alerts are immediately issued to designated teams via SMS and email. Crucially, Automatic Shut-Off Valves will remotely activate to isolate the affected area, limiting damage at room, flat, floor or block level. ‘Optimiser’ is the bespoke software tool that analyses data from the ecosystem and provides guidance, that when acted on, ensures Irus performs optimally.
