FloodWatch by Refactor Red
Early warning for water ingress and flooding events
FloodWatch is a simple, cost-effective solution for real-time flood and leak detection in both urban and remote environments. Designed to support property managers, councils, and smart city infrastructure projects, FloodWatch helps prevent damage by detecting water where it shouldn’t be — and alerting the right people immediately.
Built on LoRaWAN and cloud infrastructure, FloodWatch is ideal for apartments, underground carparks, pump stations, and rural sites where early intervention can prevent costly outcomes.
How It Works
- LoRaWAN-connected water leak or level sensors are installed in target locations
- FloodWatch monitors continuously and sends alerts on detection
- Integrates with WhatsApp, SMS, or building management systems
- Optional dashboard for visualising device status and historical alerts
