Smart Water Leak Sensors Save Highland Beach Club Thousands

LANA's Smart Water Leak Detection Solution Prevents Costly Damage for Highland Beach Club Multi-Family Property

Situated in the oceanfront town of Highland Beach, Florida, the Highland Beach Club is a luxurious condominium community that offers residents breathtaking views and upscale amenities. However, the property managers faced recurring and costly challenges due to undetected water leaks originating from water heaters in individual units where water leak sensors came to the resuce!

The CallPass team had the privilege of connecting with Mark Abolafia, the HOA President of the Highland Beach Club, to spotlight the adoption of LANA's IoT smart sensor solution. Abolafia highlighted how the water leak sensors have delivered remarkable results from day one, saving the community thousands of dollars and streamlining their property management operations.

The Problem: Cripple Water Damage From Undetected Leaks

Undetected water leaks from malfunctioning water heaters repeatedly caused severe damage at the luxury condos. Water would seep out, saturating walls, floors, and even spreading to units below, necessitating extensive repairs and renovations. Impacted residents had to be temporarily relocated while work was completed.

Beyond the physical devastation, these undetected leaks exposed the property to major liability risks and strained budgets with unexpected costs for remediation, materials, and labor. Insurance companies began raising rates due to repeated claims. The management team realized they desperately needed a proactive solution to detect leaks early before catastrophic damage occurred.

"Instead of spending upwards of $20,000 a quarter... we are no longing doing that thanks to the notification we receive from the LANA solution." - Mark Abolafia | HOA President - Highland Beach Club

 

The Solution: LANA IoT's Smart Water Leak Detection

To mitigate potential water leaks, the Highland Beach Club implemented CallPass's LANA IoT platform. The solution consisted of installing unobtrusive smart water leak detection sensors on every condo unit's hot water heater and drain pan to enable immediate detection of even minimal leaks.

In addition, these water leak sensors continuously transmit data to CallPass's secure LANA IoT cloud platform, which analyzes the incoming signals in real-time. When a leak is identified, the platform immediately alerts the property management team. This centralized monitoring system allows the property managers to promptly respond to and resolve any alerts generated.

Additionally, the sesnors connect with the cloud platform triggering instant text and email notifications to designated staff members 24/7 when a leak is detected. Customizable settings permit filtering alerts based on different urgency levels, ensuring that critical issues receive immediate attention.
