Prevention of leaks in prefabricated construction

Water leaks are an insidious problem. In addition to the obvious consequences such as mold growth, leaks can go unnoticed and cause considerable damage to the building fabric. With the help of guardstack and the sensor technology provider ESERA, water pipes can be proactively monitored and damage caused by leaks avoided – simply and cost-effectively.

Typical causes
for leaks

Water leaks from pipes or manifolds are becoming increasingly common due to the growing popularity of underfloor heating when using heat pumps. Settlement stresses on the pipes in prefabricated buildings can also lead to invisible leaks.

Leakage monitoring with guardstack

guardstack offers building owners and construction companies an advanced leakage monitoring system. The necessary hardware is supplied by the Bavarian manufacturer ESERA.

Probes for measuring water levels

The leakage probes, available in various shapes and sizes, are housed in a watertight casing, keeping them functional even at higher water levels. Integrated via a 1-wire network, they enable flexible and sensitive adjustment of the switching polarity.

More control
less risk

In summary, leakage monitoring is a highly cost-effective means of preserving the integrity and value of your property. With a manageable investment, you can avoid high costs for repairing damage, disputes with residents, and loss of image.

Special hazards
in prefabricated buildings

Wood is particularly at risk. It is particularly devastating in houses with a floor slab when water collects on the insulating floor slab – as if in a pool – and then seeps into the timber structure. This regularly leads to mold growth and rotting of the wood.

Sensors for fault detection

The highly sensitive sensors are attached directly to the water pipe and detect unusual reactions and faults. They detect even the slightest deviations in the normal pressure curve.

Reliable alerting in an emergency

An alarm can be triggered locally and sent to central or decentralized monitoring stations. This ensures that an early response is possible even when residents are absent. Decentralized alarms are sent via a dedicated radio network to ensure that they are triggered even if the building network fails.

“Compared to the average cost of a leak, the cost of setting up guardstack monitoring is basically a no brainer – especially if it is already taken into account during the construction phase.”
