Water Leak Sensor

Placement Planning

Sensor Placement Planning

Water obeys gravity and follows routes. Placement planning puts sensors where water will actually arrive, instead of where it is convenient to mount them.

Symptoms we're called for

  • Sensors that never trigger during real events
  • Coverage gaps found after damage
  • Alarm fatigue from poorly placed devices

Property types

  • Single-family homes
  • Multi-unit buildings
  • Mechanical and equipment rooms

Methods used

  • Drainage and travel-path analysis per area
  • Low-point and equipment-adjacent placement
  • Redundancy planning for critical spaces
  • Documented placement map

Limitations, stated plainly

  • Placement plans do not include hardware or installation
  • Wireless range and power constraints are noted, not solved

What you receive

  • A placement map by floor and room
  • Device class recommendations per point
  • Priority order for a phased rollout

Next steps

  • Install according to the map
  • Test each sensor during commissioning
  • Review placement after any building changes
