The Hidden Cost of Undetected Water Leaks

Water leaks don't announce themselves. They start small - a dripping pipe, a failing seal, a slow seep - and compound silently until the damage is catastrophic. By the time you discover them, the cost is already enormous.

$10,992

Average water damage cost per incident

The average commercial water damage incident costs nearly $11,000 in repairs, remediation, and business disruption - not including inventory loss or structural damage.

40%

Of business insurance claims involve water damage

Water damage is one of the most common and costly commercial property insurance claims. Repeated incidents can lead to increased premiums or policy cancellations.

24-48hrs

For mould to begin growing after water intrusion

Undetected moisture triggers mould growth within 24-48 hours. Mould remediation costs 10-50x more than fixing the original leak and can force facility closures.

$50

What a leak costs when detected early

A dripping pipe detected within minutes costs $50 to fix. The same leak discovered after a weekend costs $50,000. Water leak monitoring is the only way to guarantee early detection.

Water Leak Detection FAQ

Common questions about water leak detection monitoring for commercial facilities.

Envigilance places wireless moisture sensors in high-risk locations throughout your facility - near water heaters, pipes, drains, HVAC units, and anywhere water intrusion has occurred before. Sensors detect moisture instantly and transmit alerts to our cloud platform, notifying you via email, SMS, or app within minutes of any detection. The platform tracks moisture events, humidity patterns, and sensor status 24/7 without any manual checks required.

The average commercial water damage incident costs nearly $11,000 in repairs, remediation, and business disruption - not including inventory loss or structural damage. A leak detected within minutes costs $50 to fix. The same leak discovered after a weekend can cost $50,000 or more. Mould remediation following undetected moisture costs 10-50 times more than fixing the original leak and can force facility closures for weeks.

Sensor placement is designed specifically for each facility based on a survey of high-risk areas. Common placement locations include under sinks and near water supply lines, around water heaters and boilers, near HVAC units and condensate drains, below raised floors in server rooms, near roof drainage points and ceiling void areas, around refrigeration units and ice machines, at basement perimeter walls and floor drains, and near any area with a history of previous leaks or moisture problems.

Envigilance sensors detect moisture instantly and alerts are delivered within minutes via email, SMS, and smartphone app simultaneously. The alert includes the exact sensor location so your team knows precisely where to respond. This response window - measured in minutes rather than hours or days - is the critical difference between a minor repair and a major remediation project.

Envigilance wireless sensors require no integration with existing building systems. Sensors connect directly to our cloud platform via WiFi or cellular - no wiring, no plumbing work, and no building management infrastructure required. The entire system is self-contained, with sensors, platform, alerts, and monthly reporting all included in the subscription.

Yes. In addition to detecting active moisture, Envigilance sensors track ambient humidity levels continuously. Elevated humidity in enclosed spaces is an early warning sign of moisture intrusion, condensation problems, or ventilation failures - often detected before visible water appears. The platform alerts you when humidity exceeds thresholds associated with mould risk, giving you time to address the root cause before mould develops.

Envigilance deploys water leak detection within 10 days of sign-off. Our team conducts a facility survey to identify high-risk locations, designs a custom sensor placement plan, handles all installation, and configures the platform and alerts. There is no construction, no plumbing work, and no system downtime. Most facilities are fully live within one working week.

Yes. Envigilance guarantees 24/7 leak monitoring with instant alerts or your money back. If our sensors fail to detect and alert on moisture events at agreed sensor locations per your installation plan, we will refund your subscription for that period. A 12-month subscription is required. Sensors are placed in agreed-upon high-risk locations per your installation plan.
