The Billion-Dollar Problem

Water damage is no longer a rare event. It is one of the most frequent and costly forms of property loss. Yet the industry continues to manage water risk the same way it always has — after damage has already occurred.

The time to shift to prevention is now. Prevention is the cure.

Reactive, Not Preventative

Most properties respond only once visible damage appears. By that point, water has already spread into walls, floors, and structural elements — turning a minor issue into a major claim.

Time Drives Loss Severity

The longer a leak runs undetected, the greater the damage, disruption, and cost. Minutes and hours matter, yet most systems still rely on chance discovery.

Built Around Repair, Not Intervention

Insurers and property owners are forced into expensive remediation because detection and coordinated response are missing from the front end of the process.

The Solution

Prevention Is the Shift

Water protection has historically started after damage occurs.

Aqua Sentinel starts before it begins.

The future of water protection is not better-managed repairs. It is stopping damage before it happens.

When a leak is detected, the Aqua Sentinel platform activates a coordinated response. Certified plumbers and specialist teams are notified in real time and dispatched through the network via the app.

One detection layer. One intelligence platform. Many local responders.
Centralised intelligence with a distributed response model. Activation without reliance on manual discovery.

How It Works

Aqua Sentinel uses simple water-leak sensors to detect abnormal water flow or pooling at the moment it occurs. The sensor's role is singular and deliberate: early detection and alerting.

The real product begins once an alert is triggered.

When a leak is detected, the Aqua Sentinel platform activates a coordinated response. Certified plumbers and your team — specialising in emergency water-loss mitigation — are notified in real time and dispatched through the network via the app.

The system operates like a monitored fire-alarm service, but for water damage. One detection layer. One intelligence platform. Many local responders.

The Response Process

From detection to resolution — a coordinated, end-to-end response pipeline powered by real-time AI

Step 1 — Setup

Property & Emergency Preparedness

Before a single drop — your property is mapped, your network is ready, and your payment method is on file.

◎ GPS auto-locate — property address, coordinates, and suburb auto-filled from your phone's location

◎ Mains water tap — photo & description shared with plumbers and neighbours so they can shut off water fast

◎ Stripe payment method — card or Apple Pay saved via SetupIntent, required before plumber dispatch can be authorised

◎ SMS alert number — verified mobile used for emergency SMS notifications via AWS SNS

One-time setup — 2 minutes

Step 2 — Network

Build Your Response Network

A live trade directory and emergency contact list — everyone who needs to know, ready before anything happens.

◎ Trade directory — 50+ plumbers & electricians near you, rated, licensed, with live availability and distance from your property

◎ Plumber Network — selected certified plumbers auto-notified on leak detection, dispatched based on proximity & rating

◎ Neighbours — added contacts receive SMS during emergencies: "Can you check the sensor area for water?"

◎ Building manager — for apartments & high-rises, notified to shut off water at the mains or riser

Browse & add — 1 minute

Step 3 — Monitoring

24/7 Sensor Monitoring

WiFi, Zigbee, and HomeKit sensors report continuously — battery, signal, and water status in real time.

◎ Live device dashboard — 4/7 sensors online, battery at 100%, KLIPPBOK + WiFi + Tuya sensors all reporting

◎ MQTT push (free & instant) — Tuya SDK fires dpsUpdate delegate the moment water is detected, no polling delay

◎ HomeKit integration — IKEA KLIPPBOK leak sensors monitored via Apple Home framework alongside Tuya devices

◎ AI enrichment — motion & temperature telemetry: "No motion for 14 days — homeowner may be away" / "3°C — freeze risk"

Always on — sub-second MQTT push

Step 4 — Detection & Dispatch

Leak Detected — AI Takes Over

The moment water hits the sensor, a timed escalation begins — and everyone is notified simultaneously.

◎ T+0s — Sensor triggers "alarm" DP value via MQTT push

◎ T+1s — Status escalates to AMBER — possible leak, monitoring

◎ T+3s — Status escalates to CRITICAL — confirmed leak, POST to AWS backend

◎ T+3s — Alert-processor Lambda: creates alert, dispatch record, emergency group chat & AI summary

◎ T+4s — Notification-dispatch Lambda: SMS via AWS SNS to all contacts — owner, neighbours, plumber

◎ T+4s — Nearest plumber auto-dispatched — Stripe payment pre-authorised for callout fee

Sensor to SMS — under 5 seconds

Step 5 — Live Response

Make Safe & Attend

Real-time group chat between AI, plumber, homeowner, and neighbours — every action timestamped and logged.

◎ AquaSentinel AI — "URGENT: KLIPPBOK water leak sensor at My Home. Severity 7/10. Plumber dispatched. Contacts notified."

◎ Plumber dispatched — "Stephen Smith dispatched — 7.9km away, ETA ~16 min"

◎ Plumber accepts — "Accepted. 16 min away — heading over now."

◎ On-site updates — "Locating mains tap now" → "Mains shut off — confirmed" → Water mains turned OFF

◎ Damage assessment — "Water contained. Minor water near sensor, no structural damage. Recommend keeping mains off."

◎ Backup dispatch — second plumber (Scott Smith, 8.8km, ETA ~18 min) auto-dispatched as redundancy

Detection to mains off — under 20 minutes

Step 6 — Resolution

Insurance Intelligence & Claim Activation

Every message, timestamp, and action is packaged into a complete incident report — ready for your insurer.

◎ Incident timeline — full chat transcript with timestamps: detection, dispatch, arrival, shutoff, assessment

◎ AI-generated summary — severity score, response time, actions taken, damage assessment, plumber credentials

◎ Stripe payment receipt — callout fee processed, itemised invoice for plumber attendance

◎ Claim-ready package — report delivered to insurer with photos, timeline, and professional assessment

Full loop — detection to claim in under 30 minutes
