Remote Fire & Flood Monitoring for Vacant Properties

When a building is vacant, nobody may be present when something goes wrong. Fires, leaks and flooding may go undetected for hours or days — significantly increasing damage.

The Vacant Property Problem

Vacant buildings present a unique monitoring challenge. Without regular occupancy, a fire or water event may go undetected for an extended period — allowing damage to escalate well beyond what would occur in an occupied building. PSquare's temporary monitoring solution provides continuous automatic detection and 24/7 remote monitoring, even when nobody is present.

One Temporary System. Multiple Risks.

The same temporary monitoring platform that provides fire detection can also provide moisture and water detection — on a single deployment. This dual-monitoring capability is particularly valuable for vacant properties where both fire and water events represent significant risks.

Fire

Automatic smoke and heat monitoring throughout the property.

Water

Moisture, leak and flood detection to identify water events early.

24/7 Monitoring

Professional remote monitoring even when nobody is present on site.

Immediate Notification

Notification protocol can begin within seconds of detection — not at the next site visit.

Temporary & Flexible

Remove the system once the building is occupied, demolished, restored or permanent protection is reinstated.

Detect Water Problems Before the Next Site Visit

A water leak in an occupied building may be discovered quickly. In a vacant building, the same leak can continue for hours or days before anyone notices. Temporary moisture and water detection can identify a water event and initiate notification much sooner — potentially preventing extensive water damage, mould and structural deterioration.

Without Monitoring

A water leak in a vacant building may continue for hours or days before anyone notices — causing extensive water damage, mould growth and structural deterioration.

With Remote Monitoring

Moisture and water detection identifies a water event and initiates notification — allowing a response much sooner and potentially preventing extensive damage.
