Water and glycol leak detection
Water leak detection system: how it works
A water leak detection system is designed to quickly intercept leaks that, even if initially limited, can cause significant damage to technical rooms, infrastructure, and equipment. In environments such as plant rooms and high-density system areas, time is a critical factor: acting immediately means reducing operational downtime and restoration costs.
Thanks to dedicated solutions such as leak detection cables, it is possible to continuously monitor sensitive points and system sections, detecting the presence of water or water-glycol mixtures. In many cases, in addition to signaling the anomaly, the system also enables localization of the critical point, facilitating fast and targeted interventions.
The Parma ST team supports companies and professionals in choosing the most suitable configuration, with technical consulting, design, and solutions that can be integrated with control and monitoring systems, through to installation and testing.

Possible installations: floor-mounted, overhead, and concealed within walls
Water and glycol leak detection systems can be installed in different ways, depending on the structure of the environment and the type of risk to be monitored. At Parma ST, we offer the following solutions:
- floor-mounted: ideal for technical rooms, plant rooms, and areas where leaks tend to accumulate at ground level, enabling continuous monitoring of the most exposed points and rapid intervention in case of anomalies;
- overhead: useful in the presence of ducting, suspended ceilings, or technical passages, where it is important to intercept leaks before they reach underlying surfaces or involve sensitive equipment and systems;
- concealed within walls: recommended when more discreet monitoring integrated within the infrastructure is required, maintaining high control standards without interfering with operational activities.
For years we have supported clients at every stage, from the initial assessment to system implementation, with technical assistance, installation, and testing to ensure reliability and operational continuity. In this way, each project is defined on a tailored basis, considering layout, system criticalities, and intervention objectives.
FAQ
It is recommended in technical rooms, plant rooms, data centers, infrastructure facilities, and environments with sensitive equipment, where even small leaks can cause damage and operational downtime.
In many cases, in addition to signaling the presence of liquid, the system also makes it possible to locate the critical point, facilitating a fast and targeted intervention.
Cables can be installed at floor level, overhead, or concealed within walls, depending on the layout of the environment and the areas to be monitored.
System design takes environmental conditions into account. In contexts with humidity or condensation, it is important to correctly assess installation and configuration in order to avoid false alarms.
Yes, in many cases it is possible to integrate a leak detection system even on existing installations, by assessing the most suitable configuration based on available space and requirements.
Yes, depending on the configuration, the system can be designed to monitor multiple zones, areas, or system sections, improving coverage and alarm management.
